Dafuq are they smoking with Subaru being more notable than Porsche or VW. Porsche has almost legendary reputation with their boxers, (they had a 2.0L boxer pushing out 180 hp in 1967, 45 years before our little FA20 could only best it by 20hp)

Good article otherwise for those hungering for more info.
