Damn. Another new model year, another weaksauce NA engine despite the "updated with new engine, refreshed styling..." headline. Maybe I'm not remembering correctly, but didn't you have an XV Crosstrek for a while, @IGOTASTi ?

I've been kicking around the idea of what I'll replace my DD Buick Regal Turbo with. Since I do a fair amount of hunting---and since I got stuck out in the boonies and had to be towed out last winter---I'm thinking of something with a little more ability to get myself out of a bad spot without calling roadside assistance. :lol: It seems that the XV has about the most ground clearance you can get in a Subaru these days, but man...

"The biggest difference you?ll find for 2021 is the addition of a new engine to the lineup. While the base and Premium trims will continue to use the 152-horsepower, naturally aspirated 2.0-liter four-cylinder carried over from 2020, the Sport and Limited trims will employ a new-to-Crosstrek 2.5-liter four-cylinder boxer engine. Borrowed from the Forester, and also found in the Outback, this naturally aspirated 2.5-liter provides 182 horsepower and 176 pound-feet of torque."

...just sounds SAD to me.
