Yeah, Subaru doesn't have to worry about homologating the 2.0l engine here in the states. That can easily be done elsewhere in the world. If necessary, they could even homologate the 1.8l because homologation rules allow a bore/stroke to reach the 2.0l max regulation.
From a marketing/cost perspective, it makes sense for Subaru. They gotta keep one upping them selves, lest other manufactures steal their thunder.
