Look at the camo on the fenders. This is a months-old picture of the prototype that the reporter drove. The silly intake noise tube was added at a later point, and the AC lines were probably just thrown together from the parts bin.

That's the way Subaru does it, or at least that's the way they do it on Imprezas.

That's a Helmholtz resonator, or in NASIOC parlance, a snorkus. Basically it uses echos to cancel out noise in certain frequencies, usually frequencies that cause resonances in the cabin.

For aiming to move 3000 units a year, they're sure attacking the magazine front nicely...

Thanks for the pics and new info. Translation would be we great as well when someone gets a chance. This car is going to be awesome. Now I wonder in another article a subaru engineer said there was more power to get from the engine. I was thinking Subaru may do a turbo down the road but now I think it was possibly the ECU they where talking about.

That's the radiator cap on the left isn't it? Maybe it's down low and further forward like you suggested. I'm also wondering on what looks like two intakes...

While we are waiting for a translation, I have a very dumb question, at least it will be considered dumb by most in this forum.

Assuming the ECU is completely tunable, what would be an average cost to have that done and what would be a typical HP gain?

I have never had a car tuned. Thanks

Hmm, this is the second publication that says the AT is based on the IS-F's 8 speed. granted both publications were at the same test, but this leads me to believe that they got their info from toyota/subaru and not from their ass...

Well I'm not sure if we've heard or not, but assuming its Drive-by-Wire, it'll probably be flash based, like the 06+Sis, 06+ s2000s. So you'll need the unit that you can flash with, should be around ($500-600) a a tune shouldn't run more than $400 for the full tune

Cost I would say anywhere from $500-1000 depending on what the market decides.

Gains, I don't expect more than 5-8% with other supporting mods.
