I can't for the life of me see how that suggests that the "body height" has shrunk rather than that the whole car came down...
Anyway, speaking of "official" data sources, they ain't always right...
From the Subaru site:
The 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine redlines at 7,000 RPM and delivers a 15-percent increase in torque.
Peak power is at 7,000, redline is likely 7500rpm (indicated, anyway).
Peak torque is actually up 18% (184/156 = 1.18) and it's likely 20% or more up through much of the rev range given higher compression ratio and 1.2x displlacement.
I've had to write vehicle specs myself, and sometimes the editing goes a little wonky... Anyway, "official" data isn't always 100% correct.
