Car Info: 02 Impreza WRX sedan
We still don't know that SOA is actually using the new standard, or if they are intentionally underrating the engine in the WRX. I don't mind if they underrate their engines because it is something that insurance companies look at.

There will always be a 2.0 STI in Japan untill the FIA changes the homologation requirements for WRC.

It shows that all the 06 engines in the Impreza line are 2.5 just like in the U.S.
Here's the link to the UK model: http://www.subaru.co.uk/IMGGB/WWW/Su...4?Opendocument
And Australia:

Basically, worldwide the Impreza line now carries a 2.5L engine. I simply assumed that it would hold true for Japan as well.
