Last sentence of this article.. I don't know if there is any truth to this at all or if its just another un-founded remark made up for a bit of publicity, either way how cool would it be if Subaru actually did this big_smile

Even if it doesn't come true...

Based off the technology they've introduced from the diesel, they reckon that they'll produce 150kW from the 2.0 and 223kW from the 2.5 petrol engines!

POWA!!!!!

I'm more concerned that they're planning on dropping the 3L engine.

Unless they are planning on dropping the 3.0 to replace with an NA 3.7??

RE Dropping the 3L - It's not too surprising. Fuel prices rising - people wanting smaller/more efficient cars. It can be rationalised from a financial point of view. Besides. The 3L is a diesel anyway - by the amount of oil most of the guy's I've known use :Derisive:

No mention of the Tribecca's 3.6L NA engine though, maybe they'll keep that instead of the 3L.

And yes I can see why the 3L would be dropped considering the current fuel climate.  Can't see a 3.7L diesel being any cheaper to run though.  Diesel was $1.74 yesterday at my local BP.

There is no 3.7L Diesel, only a 2.5 Diesel. The 3.7 is in relation to the Leagcy Sti

I don't think that fuel consumption will be a factor "if" they drop the 3.0 given that they are creating a petrol 3.7L with 450hp (app 400kW). I'm sure that that thing is not "economical"

I'd say that if the 2.0 does get dropped, it will be purely due to an improved option being available. As Geoff suggested, the 3.6 out of the Tribeca is the most likely scenario.
