In fact, one thing I would like is a FRS that didn't require premium fuel - TBH that would really appeal to me!

Retooling a Toyota line, removing something more popular from production (even in the limited numbers it would be), totally redesigning the car to take another engine and going through all the various market testing and certification requirements from scratch would result in a very expensive model. There were reasons they wanted Subaru involved in the first place and those reasons don't just go away.
