People can argue that companies are slapping turbos on these cars left and right, but they don't have to worry about OEM reliability.
I don't see the brz hurting the wrx at either trim level. They're very different cars.

I could see a price tag around mid 30s, and the car would have to keep up with a z and maybe a cayman to compete.
