Yes, and that price for an N/A 6 cylinder would also be an immediate recipe for failure. So that price (if it is really the base price for the US, which I am very skeptical of) does nothing to support the base engine argument either way.

Just playing playing devil's advocate for a moment, but with the 86 it did not just result in a straight up Subaru drivetrain.
That engine was developed for both the Subaru and the Toyota. We already know which engines are going to be used in the Z4 - the B48 and B58. So, if we use the 86 as an example, then the obvious conclusion is that the Z4 and Supra will both use the B48 and B58.
