I'm wondering if there will be a (relatively) inexpensive upgrade option this year.

"The Forester will come with a 170-horsepower 2.5-liter Boxer flat four-cylinder engine, or with a turbocharged and direct-injected flat four with 250 horsepower."

"You'll have the choice of a 170-horsepower 2.5-liter Boxer or a new direct-injection turbocharged 2.0-liter Boxer with 250 horsepower, the more-powerful engine closely related to the unit used in the BRZ sports car."

"The new boosted 2.0 flat-four will reportedly make around 280 horsepower and 250 lb-ft. of torque, and will come to more Subaru models besides the BRZ Turbo (or BRZ STI). The turbo engine does away with the Toyota-designed direct and port-injection system in favor of a straight direct-injection system, combined with a single twin-scroll turbocharger"
