Japanese Impreza freaks probably crave the USDM 2.5 Hawtness.
I welcome this news. Gives more options for when I swap.
I'd probably be a hater if I still had my 02 WRX wagon... haha.

The old cliche "There's no replacement for displacement" comes to mind. Variable valve timing and engine management are great things...but when it comes down to it added displacement makes cheap and reliable power. I'm all for a cheaper and faster car as long as that block doesn't get too heavy!
