They did ... but it doesn't mean there won't be a replacement for the XT ... they might call it differently ... it might have a different engine technology with more power ... so it might not be the best advise to get an XT now because it would be the last ...

Did they confirm the next one will not be turbo charged? If i was buying, I'd still wait out for the next gen and see what they have to offer. No turbo charged XT means we'll have to look at something else~

Motor Image is bringing the Levorg 2.0DIT. This is the Levorg model with a similar engine as the WRX. Unlike the Forester XT which has a detuned version of the FA20 (241hp), the Levorg 2.0DIT has a similar tune as the standard WRX (268hp).

Maybe, within the next few years, Subaru will decide to put the new 2.4L turbo engine (260hp/375Nm) of the Ascent on the new version of the Forester XT.

I was hoping they'd put in the 1.6 turbo on the lower variant fozzies and the 2.4 turbo for the XT, like you've mentioned.

Thanks for THE inputs. I went ahead with the XV since a unit miraculously became available.

I went with it because it was my first choice and its a newer platform and fits my garage. It also has a lot of gizmos compared to IP.
