Did they actually compare it to a BMW?

I have no clue why that was brought up?

grain of salt and such as

the fact that probably the most potent fwd car in existence beats this around a track is of no consequence to me, I'm still buying a BRZ and all of the magazine racers on NAZIOC can talk as much crap about it until they're (world rally) blue in the face.

Car And Driver Talks About The Next WRX

Car and Driver is reporting that when Subaru eventually pulls the wraps off whatever is going to wear the WRX badge, there's going to be a turbocharged version of the 2.0-liter FA-series engine underhood, a derivative of the naturally aspirated engine that's found in the Subaru BRZ.

How does the venerable buff book know this? Because the turbo'ed flat-four has already appeared in the Japanese domestic market Legacy, making 296 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, mated to a continuously variable transmission. C/D says that engine differs from the one in the BRZ in that it uses Subaru's own direct injection system rather than one coming from Toyota.

In the standard WRX, horsepower numbers are expected to be a bit lower than in the JDM Legacy, though the STI version will probably see power boosted. C/D says the new 2.0-liter engine is supplanting the 2.5-liter Subaru has been using due to fuel economy considerations, though there's also something to the notion of consolidating powertrains to reap greater efficiencies in manufacturing.

Clutch feels wonderful now, but still bleeding power steering fluid. Waiting to hear back from a shop to get the exhaust re-done and then fix the line...

 

[death_roll]

that exhaust was bad, it does sound pretty good though.
