How mad would you be if....

The BRZ/FRS/GT86 got a huge upgrade in the 2014 model and you already bought the 2013 one.

Say they added a turbo but it cost the same as the non turbo'ed version now.

Or if they slapped the STI engine into it and have it priced the same.

Not to be a ****, but I don't get the point of this exercise. It's not going to happen, even if there is a turbo version down the road, it will cost significantly more.

Happened to me in 2003. I bought the 04 STi and the 05 had rediculous amounts of upgrades. Didn't bother me. I was happy that I had an STi regardless of what ever the next car had.
Cars will only ever get better. They aren't going to build a car and break a mold to never make the next one better.

If your worried about the next car being better then wait for the next car. It will be better in some way.

If you think like that, you will never buy anything. You will always be thinking about what is going to be upgraded next. It's a vicious cycle...
