Since they went to the 2.5l on the WRX, I have wondered how they would continue to differentiate the models.

It is now as if a $1200 turbo and maybe $600 injectors give you almost the same power plant. If you want the extra 6th gear, you can get that too... This the same problem Audi has been battling in the A vs. S model lines. They have mostly succeeded by having significantly different engine configurations and finishing levels. Subaru has lost the engine differentiator and never had the trim levels as one.
