good informative article........thanks for posting this here.

40 mpg Impreza? Now that would be something. An AWD gas sipper would sell like bottled water around here. Just hope Subaru doesn't overdo the lineup with the CVT though. The guinea pigs don't have that many miles on them yet, and there have been some issues.

Honestly maybe it should be considered a new section because a new engine platform is used.

I mean:

Older subarus = EA

New gen = EJ

so

Next gen = FB

 

Very interesting article next things subaru should look at are:

Direct injection (mentioned), new transmission (mentioned), electric power steering, regenerative braking, and perhaps WEDACS airco system (dutch invention http://papers.sae.org/2009-24-0063/

)
