All the non-sense in this thread is hilarious.
Nothing is official until it is in writing on manufacturer letterhead as far as a turbo coming and on the other side, nothing is officially "NEVER" coming until production ends. BMW said repeatedly that there would never be a Z3 (and X5) M model and sure enough it showed up. I don't care what any engineers, product development, or presidents say, they will just turn around and say that they didn't think there was a market for a turbo vehicle, but due to overwhelming consumer demand they were wrong and will be offering it. There is always an excuse to do a complete 180 on any previous statement.
It seems almost silly to me though to think that Subaru wouldn't rummage the parts bin to turn out a turbo/STI BRZ to compete with a 370z at a $35k price tag (and likely higher profit margin). A turbo, unique aero kit, some suspension tweaks and bigger brakes will justify a $6k price premium and place it on level ground with the Z.
