The old DSMs had to do it for the requirements back then and they have made the distance even more since then. Controls

Meh, I think I'll keep my FR-S. Toyota will bump the price up a couple grand because of the badge swap alone, not to mention the engine bump and styling. Without the turbo people want, this is a $28k car, with the turbo it would be $36k (judging by what I've seen other people say)
I will admit to being curious about one thing though. It might not be much at all, but I wonder if whatever gave them that 5 hp/tq bump would help an n/a build make more power, or really, any type of build. I wonder if gains will be exponential, or linear.

Curious if the BRZ will get a refresh too? Or if the brz will remain the same?
