When I thought driving the FXT is pretty good. I can't believe my eyes when I saw these pics........ Essentially a Forester with the North American version of the Impreza Sti.

It is great that Subaru is creating Sti editions for the Impreza, Legacy and Forester as well. (Except the slightly weird Baja)

Hope we are buying enough Turbo Forester in North America so that Subaru rewards us enthusiasts with the full Sti line in here.

Sorry for the poor English...... Of course what I meant was "Essentially a Forester with the North American Impreza Sti drivetrain"

 

Based on the Subaru Japan website.

2.5 L flat 4. turbocharged and intercooled
Variable valve timing
200 kW (~276 hp)
6 speed manual (Don't know if DCCD is included)
18" wheels with Bridgestone RE020 tires
Brembo brake package

Essentially the Impreza Sti (US) drivetrain on a Forester body.
