Turbocharged Scion FR-S for 2014?

The 2013 Scion FR-S

Automotive news has reported recently that there will be a turbocharged Subaru BRZ in the 2014 model year, which leads us to wonder, will there be a turbocharged Scion FR-S as well? Though the Subaru version of the FR-S only differs slightly from the BRZ, we're unsure of whether or not a turbocharged FR-S will follow.

What do you think? Would you buy a turbocharged Scion FR-S?
