The GR Corolla will probably get a turbocharged 2.0 I4. That is all anyone is reporting/speculating. AWD with open diffs could happen. Think WRX—not STI.
The one in the current IS300 that makes less horsepower/torque than the 1.6L I3? The only 2.0L turbocharged engine they make?

I guess they could tune the 8AR to make modern horsepower, actually make this thing a Type R or STI competitor, but that's a lot more effort then just shipping the design that's already complete, doubt they'd save/make any more money then the Yaris GR would.
