I don't mind an N/A KA, but I also don't mind an SR20DET. No huge preference now. I'm just content with how the FRS/BRZ is out of the box (Minus the wheels).
No implication of more power making it inferior, not sure where you got that. I mentioned that I am not a power fiend. "Tons of power," again, my preference. Both things that I mentioned as opinions. Not sure why you're digging at that, but cool beans.

You came out of left field claiming to not be a HP fiend when I mentioned a 265hp motor. Kinda implies that you think that's excessive for the FRS/BRZ. If you don't think that's excessive, then I must have misunderstood you. But to imply that most of us are so simple as to be satisfied with it being badged as a Nissan rather than getting a turbo engine that was previously in production is insulting really. Most of us are looking for the successor to the Silvia, not the AE86 or USDM 240sx.
You can't go very long on an FRS board without someone asking about swapping in the FA20DIT.
You're saying that using the WRX engine would have made the FRS/BRZ more expensive, yet the more complex WRX manages to sell at the same price as the 86. Probably because it's chassis is cross utilized throughout Subaru's line, unlike the 86. So maybe you're right. Maybe not.
