Lol I figured that was what was going on. I was thinking the same thing until I looked it up too.

I agree it's a great platform to start from if you eventually plan to do head work. In addition to weight reduction, it also looks to shift the cg rightwards and rearwards, which is good for LHD versions of the twins. Only problem with this setup is moving the cg up vertically by some amount. Low cg was the main benefit of the boxer IMO. (I don't think Subaru knows how to make anything else anyway, so that is probably just an excuse lol).
