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... |
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.
