I actually kinda hope the new WRX/STi is a 2.0L turbo like the Japanese cars have been all along. With direct injection and turbo they could finally get out of the low 20's for fuel economy.

speaking as a guy who has driven Subaru's entire fleet of newer cars, THIS. Holy crap, the Forester gearbox is awful. Even with a manual gearbox it was still kind of
but I don't care for the CVTs either
do like me a manual legacy though
