My 100th post milestone!

That's the thing though. It's not been just one but many, many times that "sources" have told us the exact opposite of what the OEM's are saying.

Will there be an STi variant of the BRZ? Yes, absolutely. Without a doubt.

Will we see it stateside? Prolly.

Will it be turbo'd? Prolly not.

There just really isn't a reason for it. Because everyone is so turbo=Subaru focused they don't understand how you can make an STi NA.

It's real easy. Bore it, stroke it, throw more air and fuel at it. Add some different trim, body, interior bits in the mix and your done.

I could just about guarantee that this will be the same as the life of the WRX 2001CY-2002CY. Then the STi drops in 2003CY as a 2004MY.
