Nope, the WRX has had a 2.5 turbo engine for a few years now. It came in with the new body style. The article tests a 2.0 turbo which is an engine we do not get in the US.
In Japan, the WRX, I believe STI and Legacy all have 2.0 turbos. In the US, they all have 2.5 turbos.

Yes, 2005 was the last year for the 2.0 Turbo. 2006 was the first year of the 2.5L Turbo WRX.
Here is a review of it from Automobile Magazine to prove it http://www.automobilemag.com/reviews/sedans/0510_subaru_wrx/
It's a pain to keep track of!2008 Lexus IS-F
I rubbed my eyes when I saw this. Wow! But it will probably be an EXPENSIVE car.
The Japanese automakers first entry into the true performance sedan segment looks on paper to be a real challenger. The V-6available with 306 horsepower in the IS350is ditched in favor of a 5.0-liter direct-injected V8 engine delivering over 350 lb-ft of torque, along with a 0-to-60 time below 4.9 seconds. The engine is teamed with with the worlds first eight-speed direct sport-shift transmission with paddle shifters that snaps quickly and crisply between gears, upshifting within a tenth of a second (revised version of the LS460s tranny). The torque converter is also revised for quicker shifts and rev-matched downshifts. The IS-F will also be good for burnouts to do the NHRA proud, as Lexuss VDIM traction control finally comes with an honest-to-mashed-potatoes Off setting.

from what i've read, the u.s. get 's a 2.5 liter turbo (since 06) while everyone else gets the 2.0. the regular impreza still has its 2.5L. and there's no more wrx in japan. it's called the impreza s-gt.
and minus the tails and grill, i think it looks pretty sweet. especially in that white.
i'm not digging the new tail lights either and the fact that subaru is using the legacy engine in the wrx now since there is a bigger aftermarket for the 2.0L boxer engine. I am looking forward to seeing how the STI stacks up against the new
Evo X.
