What is important is what will happen to the price when a several thousand dollar turbo is added. Increasing the HP by N/A methods should halve the price increase I believe. Many car companies give upto 20HP increases with only the standard yearly price increase for example.
I'm saying they sort of shot themselves in the foot for initial pricing with little room for performance increase without pricing themselves out of competition in the process. Who the hell buys a $30k Civic for example? Sure, a handful of people, just like the two people who paid almost $40k for their FR-S in my area...with just a 5-axis kit and Bespoke.

There will never get a Scion FR-S Turbo, maybe...only maybe a BRZ Turbo. They will only make like 3000 of them per year and sell everyone of them. The FR-S at $25k is still a good deal. This BRZ Turbo will be in the mid to upper $30k range. Still a good deal considering the performance you will be able to get out of it.
But for the people who are overpaying for the FR-S\BRZ\86, oh well it is what it is....
Just say no...There are plenty of cars out there at MSRP or below. I even found a BRZ premium brand new close to $24k, you just got to look.
