[QUOTE=American Dave;778712]LOL at near WRX performance in a practical wagon[/QUOTE]

Subaru has revealed more details of the Levorg, including some impressive engine specs.

It will be powered by a choice of either a 1.6-litre or 2.0-litre direct injection turbo four cylinders producing 125kW and 221kW respectively. Both will be mated to a CVT auto.

CVT auto ... FFS Subaru get a grip.

"The Levorg continues Japan’s obsession with continuously variable transmissions that don’t have fixed gear ratios like conventional autos.

The 1.6-litre turbo is teamed with a regular version of Subaru’s Lineartronic CVT while the 2.0-litre’s power is put to the ground via a sportier version of the CVT that features a sports mode offering pseudo-manual shifting up to an eighth ‘gear’ "
