Saab will get the 2.0 DI
 
Didn't say that the engine will be from subaru but I'll bet it will be from from Fuji heavy ind. like always...can we get a hint that this 2.0 direct injection that will have 163bhp on NA and 220bhp turbo will be on the FT86 also?

Hopefully the 86's numbers are closer to the predictions. It should spank the saab

how would Saab get a hold of a Fuji Heavy motor? Isn't Saab owned by GM? Wouldn't it make more sense that its a 2.0L ecotec motor? Similar to the Cobalt? (slowbalt around these parts)

I mean the Ecotec motors aren't to bad, but they have a 2.2L NA motor, thats 155hp, 150ft-lbs, and the 2.0L DI Turbo motor thats 260hp, 260ft-lbs. I just figured that Saab would be using these motors instead of a Fuji Heavy or any other motor.

ew ew ew ew ew ew.

the FT had better have more HP than that. quite a bit more. if the FT has 165hp, it is very doubtful that i would buy one.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they are Ecotec motors. It was the 9-2 'Saabaru' that was Impreza based and that was abandoned ages ago. Saab is using conventional inline 4s and V6's these days.

Edit: Basically that 9-2 was toast when Toyota bought GM's share in Subaru. Hence the new partnership for the FT/R-86/S.

Saab is owned by spyker now. GM sold them early this year

Yup it's Subaru's engine. So it's Saabaru engine.

It was only the 9-2, and it wasn't even a Subaru-powered Saab. It was a full-blooded Impreza wagon that GM changed some body panels on. Apparently nobody in Saab's or Subaru's corporate sides were happy with GM's decision. There were zero parts interchange with the 9-2 and any other Saab so dealers hated that, too.

More of GM's wonderful brand-engineering in action. Subaru fans should be VERY thankful that Toyota rescued them from the General.

Prior to that I think the last boxer Saab was like in the 60's and probably a 2-stroke or some other weirdness.
