Boxer engine article for Newbies
Here is an article I just found that some of us who don't know all that much about our boxer engine might enjoy reading.

  Dafuq are they smoking with Subaru being more notable than Porsche or VW. Porsche has almost legendary reputation with their boxers, (they had a 2.0L boxer pushing out 180 hp in 1967, 45 years before our little FA20 could only best it by 20hp) http://myclassicgarage.com/marketpla...67-porsche-911 VW had sold 21 million beetles with boxer engines before the WRX hit showrooms, saying Subaru is more notable is laughable in the grand scheme of automotive history. Good article otherwise for those hungering for more info.
