Re: News and Rumors: New SVX after all?

I dont understand why they would shove the old 2.5L turbo into such a new premium coupe.....

IMHO I never enjoyed the way the larger Subaru 4 cylinders ran, my moms '98 outback that was purchased brand new felt coarse when revved, as did my ex's older GL, and at the risk of upsetting some, both ran pretty bad in comparison to my 250,000 mile old Honda 2.2 liter.

What would be the reason not to make standard the H6 found in our cars or the larger one in the newer Tribeca for this "new" style? Turbocharged H6 as an option? I mean if Subaru is going to be asking probably upwards of 35-40K for this, they need to put in a smooth engine to match the lines on the outside, and leave the rumbling 2.5T to the STI crowd.
