Hearing 2.3, but we should know for sure pretty soon. Geneva Auto show starts on 5th of March and I think detailed information on vehicles becomes available a couple of days early.
 
MORE POWERFUL AND BETTER FUEL ECONOMY
Not to be outdone, the new available 2.5L engine on the s trim is now more powerful and smoother than its 2.3L predecessor. The 2.5L engine delivers an impressive 167 horsepower, 168 lb-ft of torque** and a new 6-speed manual transmission or available 5-speed Sport automatic transmission with manual-shift mode.

The i-trim is more fuel efficient earning up to 33 mpg highway, but is nonetheless powerful. Its robust 2.0L engine delivers 148 horsepower, 135 lb-ft of torque** and a choice of either a newly-available
5-speed Sport automatic transmission with manual-shift mode or 5-speed manual transmission.

I think if I'd had any say in this design, it would have been to 1) completely re-think the lower air intake, and 2), extend the front fender character lines into the doors so it doesn't end so abrubtly at the fender / door seam. From certain angles, it doesn't even look like the front fenders belong on the car.
 
Very nice! Thanks for the pics! Actually changes my mind a bit. That smile is much less noticeable with a front license plate on it, which most of us are required to have anyway. Front end still looks a bit squashed top to bottom, mainly where the hood meets the bumper, but those pics are much better than anything I have seen so far. I think the rims have more character than what we currently have, less Match-box esque.
