It only takes 20 years to be considered a classic.

The FA20 was built with a mind towards clean emissions. Toyota has their "environmentalist" credentials to consider. Hence the Toyota D4S system under the squidcap instead of the Subaru Direct injection system. If they had wanted to build a higher output engine or a turbocharged engine they very well could have.

The peak HP isn't as important as the torque curve anyway. And the FA20 has good torque for an engine of this displacement. Better than any Honda.
