I bet against it. The EJ208 would be more in spirit with the car's design and should be more popular.

With the amount of work needed for an LS swap, it will probably only be done when there are cheap used cars being sold like with the RX-8/Miata. $22k+ for a chassis is ridiculous.

I am thinking that Subaru/Toyota should offer a version, at least in the future, that uses either the WRX or STI turbo engine. The chassis might preclude AWD but turbo should be doable , depending on how much room there is under and around the engine and how strong the chassis is built. But I already know that they won't offer one at release and as few as they plan on building that anymore than one engine or one bodystyle would be too much for what they are doing.
