Greetings All,
I would have to say that I am a little disappointed of Subaru USA in that they have released the 2.5 Turbo Engine in both the Forester and the Baja. I have not read anything besides what is on the site that they have the 2.5 L engine Turbo with 210 Hp.
Maybe I'm mad at the fact that I have a '02 Impreza WRX wagon (which I absolutely love! by the way), and now people with Foresters and Bajas have an extra .5 L on my engine which in my mind would allow for larger power increase from bolt on after market parts. I wonder if they will ever relase a 3.0 L Impreza?
Is the 2.5 in the Forest and Baja the same exactly as the STI or is it the same block with weaker internal parts like DSM did with the Eclipes?
I just dread the day I pull up to a light and a Baja dusts my ass off the line. I'm upset to see the Baja in the first place because its very ugly (in my opinion), and useless (in my opinion). Others will disagree. Also the Forester has always been boxy in my mind, but I guess a car company can not survive on just the Impreza and Legacy lines alone. Oh well, I still love Subaru and will probably by them for the rest of my life. Let me know your thoughts on these topics.
An additional topic what do people think of the Saab Subaru connection with the new 9.2x?
