Let's hope Subaru can do this without making them too sluggish. The non-turbo, automatic, 2.5L Legacys and Outbacks are not exactly Friday Night drag-racers...the manual versions a little quicker but not exactly snappy. Some of the newer ones have the S-Drive feature which tailors the engine response through the engine computer.

These have been in the States for a little while now. Same performance, cost is $200 extra and Subaru eats the other $800.

Yeah we haven't gotten any PZEV cars up here. Only AT-PZEV (HCH-II and Prius II)
