IF they build a turbo version of the FA20 engine, an engine that is used ONLY in the BRZ, why would they not eventually use it in the BRZ ?? They will. They do not want to say so at this time because if they did many may decide to wait for that instead of getting the NA FA20 BRZ.

I also feel that Toyota will not go that route. They are likely to go the SC route. It has been officially stated that Toyotal and Subaru are free to develop their individual versions of the cars in the future.
