Could be true but I see nothing that even remotely convinces me there will be such an engine. Could be an interesting possibility when they change the WRX/STI over to the new platform but I would think we would have heard rumours on that as well.

In the instance that it isn't true, what might be the alternative? Certainly, the FA-20 turbo would be adequate, but where does that leave the 2.5 and 3.6? Both are older motors and aren't competitive in terms of power of MPG.
From my perspective, a new 2.4 makes sense and supports the speculation because that gives them the ability to replace the both of the above-mentioned engines with a single block and layout.
I recognize that many other more likely alternatives exist for future powertrain update in the twins. But if the design of the 2.4 is in anyway shared with the FA-20, or better in fact, it'd be interesting to see if they could still hit 100/hp per liter.
