The revision to the EJ motor that went into the 2011 Forester is purportedly the first step in a DI motor. The 2012's are supposed to finally have direct injection. Not that it will likely be in the turbo motors that soon. But Subaru has to really do something to get their mileage up... it's too big of a selling point these days, and people don't understand the reason Subaru's mileage numbers aren't as good as other 4-bangers is because of the AWD losses.
