Yup. A turbo will decide if this thing is a dud or a star.

If it has a turbo, it will compete in a crowded market. Toyota (and to a lesser extent, Subaru) will get their game back in the sports car market. You'll have an almost immediate aftermarket that will assist in selling the cars -- not to mention it will probably benefit massively from a simple tune.

Not to mention -- turbo and light? Stay out of boost and you'll have something that won't kill your wallet on a day to day basis.

But if it ships without a turbo? Total dud. It will sink to the bottom of the ocean and literally no one will care.

I mean, seriously, look at what you can get for 28k in this market -- a 370, a 5.0, a WRX (Not to mention a used Evo or STi), Mazdaspeed 3, Genesis Coupe -- probably a handful I'm missing as well.

Honestly, even if they turbo it, they've got to nail the price down. If it MSRPs for 30k it will probably get optioned up to 38-9k, at which honestly, unless it has -incredible- performance numbers, it won't sell either.
