Subaru claim there will not be a Turbo Model, there is no room
even though HKS have a turbo kit for the FT86
Subaru says that it will not turbocharge the engine as there is no space at the front of the engine bay for an intercooler.
"Plus, we want to keep turbocharging separate. It is for models like the WRX STi," said Atake.
"The same goes for four-wheel-drive. We could not make the BRZ four-wheel-drive even if we wanted to."

Think I prefer the toyota... the subaru's front end looks similar to the new mazda 3 which I'm not a big fan of

The Toyota is quite tempting. It's probably the only car I'll like from their lineup. They've reintroduced high-power, high-rev engines when turbos are becoming more popular. We've waited for so long and it looks like it's worth it.
