sorry can you guys define me a 'archaic' engine? What makes the engine an 'archaic' and not?

The only thing the EZ30 and EG33 has incommon is they both flat 6s and used in Subarus.
The EZ30 was a complete new design at the time.

Its not archaic but I just think tech has improved and emmissons are getting even stricker. Every one is wanting timing chains better fuel eccommony etc.
It maybe easer and cheaper for them to build a complete new engine from scratch.

Subaru has had a good run out of their flat 4 engines
Well the EA series of engine had a production run of aprox 25years
The EJ has about 21 years so far.
