Ward's auto, with a bit of commentary on the upgraded BRZ to come:

The recently launched Subaru BRZ sports car, the result of a collaboration with Toyota, has been well received and created buzz around the brand. The 2-seater is powered by a 200-hp 2.0L normally aspirated flat-4 engine, a 2013 Ward’s 10 Best Engines winner.
But in the sports-car segment, excitement over a new model can fade quickly if an auto maker stands pat, Lin says, hinting an update may be in the works.
“That segment has to have something fresh to keep the interest level high,” he says. “It will be important for us to manage the lifecycle of that product.”
Lin declines to say whether the BRZ will receive a turbocharged engine, a matter of speculation among enthusiasts. Current turbocharged Subaru engines won’t fit in the BRZ’s engine bay, but officials aren’t ruling out a solution down the road.

Good news to me. I hope that "something fresh" comes in the next year.
