albeik Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 When another batch of spy photos of the upcoming Subaru Exiga surfaced yesterday, we didn't give it much thought. We pretty much know the styling direction and dimensions of Subaru's new people mover, but one portion of AutoExpress' article caught our attention. In addition to the Exiga joining a new Legacy sedan and Outback wagon in 2009, Subaru's future drivetrain plans include dropping the 3.0-liter boxer and reworking the 2.0- and 2.5-liter engines to increase efficiency and power. The naturally aspirated 2.0-liter will supposedly produce 200 hp, while the current turbocharged 2.5-liter will exceed 300 hp. While neither of which is huge news, AE also mentions that a Legacy STI is on the way with a turbo'd 3.7-liter producing close to 450 hp. Whether or not such a beast will actually come about is open to debate, but when it does, we hope that Subaru has the foresight to make it available in the U.S. [source: AutoExpress] http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/29/subaru-legacy-sti-rumored-to-have-450-hp/ http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/222462/subaru-exiga.html http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/05/legacy_sti_450-op.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panamajack Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 ^ I agree with this man. I will settle for some 18x8.5's though. Throw a nice rear diffuser and DCCD in there too while you are at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gire Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Hope springs eternal. SBT +100 For God's sake people..... wishing for something that isn't even in the realm of possibilites is fruitless. Why don't we all wish for a 600hp Twin Turbo Baja ReDux while we're all at it? I hate to be a Negative Nancy, but, sheeeeeesh.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tide Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Not a repost IMHO. It's ok to split topics out of long threads. Especially if we'd like to alert SOA of it's importance to us. repost... http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=82824&page=18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
