Subaru has already confirmed there is a Turbo FA20 motor and it is NOT going in the 86 right now:

I just found we are lucky enough to have NISSAN continue making a V6 sports car while most of the Japanese had taken theirs off from the North American market ie Supra, RX-7, S2000.....

The BRZ is a good idea about having an extra choice, I believe its handling will compensate for it's low power output, since it has a good power-to-weight ratio.

We need more choices for sports cars from Japan, however, it is also the weakest segment in the consumer market.

I'd personally take a BRZ if it was Subaru symmetrical all wheel drive, 4 cylinder turbo'd then yes... basically an impreza wrx sti coupe...but as it sits now, its not in the same class nor intended to be in the same class as the 370Z. Just Subaru trying to gauge the sports car market.

thats why i made my earlier post, being on struts is not ideal

jav@vossen · 01-16-2012, 10:08 PM

2 completely different cars IMO and will be priced differently

clintfocus · 01-16-2012, 10:37 PM

Are we really going to start comparing Toyota to Porsche? Seriously, the things some people expect from a budget sports car is ridiculous.
