I doubt if there will be a new version of the 86 in NA, and I doubt if the current one will make it past the 2021 model year.
Forums consist of many people that figure they can out engineer the manufacturer. Really easy to second guess tem when there are no restrictions to deal with like they have. There are people that are convinced that the torque dip is only there because the engineers can't figure out how to get rid of it. That thought is just ridiculous.
We see people say "they can just throw a turbo/supercharger/bigger engine in it and sales will go way up. Those same people have no clue what the emissions, mileage, and passenger/pedestrian safety requirements that the manufacturer are. The design engineers have thousands of parameters that they must stay in and just throwing parts at it is not something they can do. Just adding a SC would require all new crash tests and emission control /mileage approvals. This would cost millions and the investment would be foolish just to sell a few hundred high power model versions a year. Wouldn't matter what they did to it anyway half the people complaining about power would still say it was not enough. Hell, how many people buy a WRX or STi and leave it stock?
