It's all over the internet. has been since about an hour after that memo came out apparently. :P I highly doubt we'll see a 2.5 liter WRX next year.

They have to do something to keep up with the SRT-4 and mustang tho... plus, their engine expenses will go down because they can just focus on one type of engine instead of two - sorta like the LS1 maybe...

I wouldn't be, it would only make sense.

The 2.5L motor isn't used anywhere except in the US/Canada. So they'll still be making more 2.0L motors than 2.5's even if the US WRX switches over.

However, if Subaru was thinking about somthing like this, they should move production of all the US cars to the US, and use the 2.5L blocks exclusively. That might save them a bit in cost. Then we'd see a 250hp WRX with the same engine/drivetrain as the XT's and Legacy GT.

:lol: "Subaru Impreza 2.5 WRX XT GT"

Yeah, Subaru doesn't have to worry about homologating the 2.0l engine here in the states. That can easily be done elsewhere in the world. If necessary, they could even homologate the 1.8l because homologation rules allow a bore/stroke to reach the 2.0l max regulation.

From a marketing/cost perspective, it makes sense for Subaru. They gotta keep one upping them selves, lest other manufactures steal their thunder.

I think the typo is in the STI line, not the WRX..

it should read:

Impreza WRX STI 3.0L Turbo! 8)

I'm just going to wait patiently and find out instead of wasting my time speculating and pulling ideas out of my ass.

Where's the fun in that?

do you really think the rest of the world buys more cars then us in the US? :lol:

Um, yes. The ej20 turbo usage in the US is much lower then the rest of the world.

They should move production here, then they could build a pushrod V-8 Legacy and run it in NASCAR! :lol:

F the rest of the world!

Wow, can we even run the Baja in the Craftsman Truck Series? Sweet.
