Assuming that they don't do that, yeah, I have to agree that it'll likely push up the cost of the entire lineup.

I'm not saying I WANT the turbo 4 to be the upgraded engine, but they could definitely and safely push the power to around 300+ HP and 300+ TQ giving the T4 a higher and broader TQ range than the V6.
I highly doubt the Turbo 4 will match the V6 HP from the factory (especially if they bump the V6 to 330 - 340 HP like I'd like to see from the current 323) but matching and surpassing the V6 Torque would be easy.
That, combined with better highway mileage is how they could slot it as the optional engine.
