True, but they could end up putting it in the BRZ as well later on. Maybe for the STi version?

Sweet! Am definitely interested in a boosted FR-S/BRZ. Either flavor is starting to sound tasty again

maybe I am imagining things, but I see a little of the FTO in the BRZ...

Anyone else think that Toyota might go the supercharger route and Subaru might go the turbo route?

That would be an interesting rivalry.

I could see it, but I bet Toyota is aftermarket through TRD and Subaru factory.

Dude, if this is true...mx-5 status is something very sexy. It seems the general reviews states this is a 2700lb car and not the proposed 2600lbs. Either way, it's still light to today's standards.

Yeah, I'm expecting the supercharger to be a TRD part, not a "TRD car" so-to-speak.

I think Subaru will release an STI version of the BRZ that has upgraded brakes + suspension goodies, and then a "Spec B" or something that will have a turbo and probably be priced around 35k.

This might seem expensive, but it would probably be marketed as a limited run car -- and it would also most likely have extra interior goodies bits as well.

I'd happily pay 35k for the car. It will have a lot of features that aren't available in other RWD cars in that price range (LSD, etc)
