To be clear it isn't the possibility of there being an engine change that I am calling bullshit. It is the fact that ANY news source can report it as truth at this point in time.

Article is 100% accurate. There is already a prototype with this engine running around Japan.
Someone spied it late one night, stopped the driver and talked to them. The driver begged him not to take a photo, but the guy snuck one anyway. I won't tell you his name to hide his identity, but this is 100% legit! See the hood and grill? There is something new and exciting lurking under there!

hey look at what Honda did from AP1 to AP2...an increase in displacement would really be the only option if they stay NA as I doubt Toyota/Subaru would try to incorporate something like HCCI into a boxer. we'll see :>

The only thing is that in certain markets an engine over 2L attracts a lot more import tax. So they may not go that route. |

Plus, if ya live in say Japan, going from the 1.5-2.0 L bracket to 2.0-2.5 L is only an extra 6,000 yen (or about $60 USD) per year, so I don't think that is a real hurdle |
