Remember with a boxer you have two equial sized block halves, 2 x heads, 4 cams etc so would weight a bit more compaired to a alloy inline 4 with 1 head, 2 cams etc.
I would say new engine will be the next gen Subaru engine that will have timming chain?, Virable Valves, lighter shorter, with Directect injection.
I would say toyota would add there fancy DI tech to it. Would they still do new heads for it?
Heres a pic of the prototype next gen Subaru engine...
