Wow! Does Subaru Appreciate U.S. or what?
Fancy that, giving us an exclusive 2.5 L turbo!!!!! I didn't expect that! Probably because our gas is such low octane stuff - there are limits to what you can do with a 2L on pump gas! This is incredible news.
Just wonder what price tag will be. I'll bet MSRP will be over 33K with normal equipment. May be worth it though...

it was probably mostly emissions related, so that they can still look good for the environmental contingent.
it's good for us |

Well, I think emission is the number one factor - in order to beat the EVO at the power game with a 4 cylinder turbo and still pass emission, that's probably the only way to do it. Nonetheless, it's about the time the STi show up with a bang... can't you see the grin on my face now?

SOA should appreciate the U.S.
They should appreciate the U.S. After all wasn't the the U.S. the biggest consumer of bugeye WRXs in the world? They should reward us.

indeed way to GO FHI ...
my guess is that it was mainly a FHI project .. thus the lack of leaks .. they were however there.. |
