Frs not being produced in auto?

At a dealership, multiple reps telling me frs is no longer being made in auto. Bullshit?

I had a rep very confidently tell me that they're definitely making a turbo for the frs.


They don't know anything.

There is talk about a supercharged version in 2015 but nothing in stone yet... Toyota was very adament about not turboing the car from the factory and shot down the Subaru execs many times

At ourisman Chantilly in Virginia, they got 5 manual frs in the lot, all with their "appearance package" of tint, Mudflaps, and stupid ugly ass pin stripe. $960 pkg. Lol. Also, one rep I talked to was leaning on the back of an frs smoking a cigarette and ashing all I've the trunk.
