Yes, that is what I have read. I'm glad I got the SC when I did. When MINI abandoned the SC in favor of the Turbo in 2007, it stripped the car of a lot of soul. (torque curve not nearly as robust and not as tunable).

The V8 will remain a V8

I think a turbo I6 will be lighter and more tunable, although I doubt it will ever be as easy to tune as a Subaru (abundant parts and open source tuning software). Still, increasing boost pressure is much easier on a turbocharger than a supercharger.
Will it sound as good? Possibly, if they design the exhaust to get the right sound.

If they do go for a turbocharged I6, I think they will get a huge challenge in making it sound as good as it does now. The turbocharger will behave as a muffler, making it hard to create a soundtrack that can match the one from a supercharged engine. Just look (and lissen) to Formula 1 now.....

Don't forget probably the sweetest of them all was the 1990-1995 inline 6 turbo in the Toyota Supra RZ.

I think it'll possible to get a satisfying sound with a turbocharged I6. The reduced weight and complexity would be appealing, as would improved aftermarket tunability.
