First the industry is being forced into Direct Injection due to upcoming emission and efficiency regs.

If you haven't noticed an NA DI engine have "issues." The addition of a turbo gives a wider window to meet durability, performance, economy, and emission targets. So the entire industry is slowly moving to DIT for new 4 cylinder designs. Even a $15 Chevy Sonic can be bought with a DIT 4 cylinder. Even Honda is working on their first turbo 4 cylinder.

Personally I and most reviewers think Toyota dropped the ball by not allowing Subaru to use the FA20DIT in the twins.
