"The WRX will likely be powered by a 265 horsepower version of Subaru's 2.5L boxer-four engine. The STI should boast over 300 horsepower."

So the writer thinks Subaru will make no changes at all to the drive train? My my money's on a turbo FA20 like the Forester XT and Japanese Legacy GT. US Forester XT makes 250hp, JP Forester makes 276hp, and JP Legacy GT makes 296hp. I expect a small increase in advertised power, maybe 275, nothing wild, and a sizable improvement in economy ratings.
