They would never say a turbo of their YET TO BE RELEASED product will be coming out in the future. Never announce something hotter than what you're already releasing because people will wait for your future vaporware instead of buying your new hardware. That's product suicide and any of you who believed it should be ashamed of yourselves.

for the original poster who said toyota is not known for their styling. when the mk4 supra came out nothing else on the road looked like it. And almost 20yrs later it still looks great, also ae86 corolla, celicas look great, mr2, i like a bunch of others but those are the most popular

It wasn't the original poster. It was the author of the article that was posted. I agree, Toyota made some nice looking cars back in the day. However nothing for the past 10 years until now.

I think the BRZ will stay NA ...
but the new WRX will be based on the BRZ platform
like a MINI-GTR ... similar size 300HP AWD maybe ?

They edited the last part to: "A turbocharged version of the BRZ engine will be used in the WRX, Subaru says."

So nothing new in the article except the price rumor.

So I don't get to live on a ramen-noodles-every-night-budget so I can afford a turbo version? Damn.
