Well the chief project manager for the twins, Tada-san, has said several times that they plan on and are working on giving it more power. So it's going to happen but the question is when.

Here's the thing, the money you've lost in equity couldve paid for a turbo on the old car. so the reason to buying a new one for the power increase argument just wont fly

Exactly.

Link?

Pretty sure I read the same article you did and all he said was that they are developing prototypes. Zero indication that they "plan on giving it more power".

Prototypes =/= reality

I'm sure some day they will make it more powerful, they will also probably make it bigger, and heavier. Thats the way things go in the auto industry and it's always been that way. If you think they will simply make the car more powerful and leave the rest untouched you are going to be dissapointed.

Mk1 GTI, mk1 Miata, old Civics, Datsun Z cars, the first few STIs, BMW M cars, all of these received power boosts over the years yet the originals remain the most desirable. Very few cars truely emprove over the years from an enthusiast point of view. Rx7, Supra and MR2(debatable) are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head that actually had decent revamps.

Buy now, you are going to wait at least another two years before the refresh and power bump, power bump that will be questionably substantial to the fa20

By 2015 I would already have my eyes on the production ft-1. If it's all it's cracked out to be I'd rather $60k once than dump $15k+ into my FRS. Seems to be the best answer from toyota for those who want more power. That RC-F doesn't look too bad either.

Some of us have the possibilities of trading in an e92 m3 for a scion FRS then 3 months later getting an STI then a '13 335is... as stated above you dont have to agree with my life's choices i simply asked you to let me know what you would do if you were able to. It is obvious that those who can't afford to will post what most of you posted above. Whether you like it or not the car will be refreshed on 2015 like the s2000, like the scion Tc and 335i bmw and so forth.

PS- I was happy with the car, hence the reason i want another one. I realized now, nothing drove like that car on the track, easy an inexpensive to modify and a lot more aftermarket parts now.

I'm glad for guys like you. Keeps a steady supply of low mileage used cars on the market.

Toyota could make bank in the US by just bringing in the 86 with no changes. Half the current owners would dump whatever they have, including the OP, for the new shiny. Then, a year later, announce something even shiner, repeat. OP has first-world problems.

I doubt it will be 2015. The contract with Subaru requires the same specs through 2015 and then they are both allowed to do what they want to the car. The 2016 is "rumored" to be 2.5 Litre 280 horsepower... We shall see.

That is more likely. But by 2016, that would be kinda late with Nissan, Honda, and Kia taking on the Competitions....well not Honda yet.

Honda can kick a lot of ass, if they bring back Integra Type R with 250HP @ 9,000 RPM, and RWD, 2800 lbs LOL!!nice to dream

Anyone can play the rumour and waiting game. This relates to everything, enjoy your HD tv now with what's latest and greatest now or wait for a new one based on rumour and speculation. We only live once and have no clue for how long waiting never provides fun or memories. There is ZERO proof or documentation or guarantee of any big changes to the power train waiting is a useless hopefull thing to do that likely will only dissapoint. IMO of course...
