It'd be ideal if they were to go that route. But then I dunno what the take rate would be between the 2 trim levels.

Also, from a marketing point of view, it'd make more sense if they only release the NA version first, without any additional commitments to the turbo version. And then in the following year, release the turbo version, or at least announce it. That is kind of what Toyota did with the Supra, except that Toyota released the high spec 3.0L I6 car first, and the turbo 4 later.

Realistically, assuming the 2nd gen BRZ isn't afflicted with the same mid range power dip malaise that the FA20 had, 217 hp with a decent torque curve should prove to be adequate. Of course, nobody wants to be "just adequate".
