Default New XT Forester.

Just got an email from Subaru Aus marketing. The new XT will have a 2.0L direct injection turbo engine.
Pretty safe to say it will be in the new WRX as well. When it happens anyway.
No more 2.5!!!!!!!!!!

No manual option though I believe.. It's only a CVT transmission

Hmm...Considering getting a runout Foz as the baby transporta. If the new one looks like a bag of dicks, it might make my mind up for me, cos I like the look of the current one. Any thoughs on the current one? They're going for some good prices at the moment

If they're using a turbo variant of the 2.0L BRZ motor, does this lead to forced induction for the BRZ coming up?
