Torque = good.
This will be a great daily driver. No studder starts in 2nd ala WRX.




Mental note: must buy lottery tickets!

I think my whole work just heard me scream when I read the 2.5L Turbo on Subaru's website.

your regards to the mid 13's about the sti car and driver got one and they said a 14 flat @ I believe 95 mph I saw it on t.v. over the weekend and read it in the mag. I think the times should be better too. And I also read in sport compact that the demo neon they've been testing and has been beating the wrx to a pulp has a td06 which is a 20g thats a monstorous turbo compared to our 13g if all our cars had bigger turbos they would pull better times also. I highly doubt that car will come with a 20g!

We get the new face lifted one...bug eyes will become a "collector's edition" only lasting two years in NA.

I think we get the conventional turbo...and that's probably the biggest reason why we're getting the 2.5L engine. The J-spec twin scroll turbo produces a torque curve similar to the 2.5L, and since that's Japan only, we get more displacement as a compensation.

Hey, a 2.5 turbo is VERY workable IMHO. Besides, usually we get something 50% crappier then JDM, NOT THIS TIME!!!!

Please send STI donations to:

Everyone Who Blew Their Wad On A 02' WRX Fund

BTW - I still love my stg 4 wagon regardless of this new gift from the almighty.

Way to go Subaru, you just pissed off your loyal UK/European customer base even more!

I dont think i will ever work out Subaru, they must all reside in the local nuthouse.

I hope you guys realise what the DCCD is? I have one and it's awesome (Subaru, invest in body shops in the USA fast, you are gonna need em )
