Subaru's third-gen boxer set to KO the rest


It’s hard, looking back on it, but the second-gen boxer engine from Subaru has been around for 21 years already. Its replacement, the next-gen boxer engine, is out and will be built at a specific factory in a show of support by parent company, Fuji Heavy Industries.

While the bore and stroke have been bumped up, the four cylinder boxer still displaces 2-liters and 2.5-liters. Major changes include redesigned intake ports, lighter pistons and con rods for reduced internal friction and separate cooling circuitry for the block and head. The resultant improvements include lower emissions and a ten per cent increase in fuel efficiency.

As for now, power figures are still unavailable s we’ll have to wait for it to appear in the Forester’s engine bay, the first Subaru model to be fitted with the engine.

SELENA GOMEZ IS "REALLY NERVOUS" REGARDING DROP DOWN HER NEXT ALBUM!!!






SELENA Gomez says she’s “really nervous” about releasing her second album!

The teen singer admits she’s worried about what her legions fans will think ofA Year Without Rain — which hits shops September 28.

“I’ve worked on this record for a year and a couple of months now, so I’m really happy just to get it out,” she said.

“[But] I’m really nervous, I just want it to be out already.”

Gomez says it was difficult finding the time to record the album — because she’s also been shooting her moviesRamona & Beezus and Monte Carlo, as well as filming her show Wizards of Waverly Place.

“It’s been hard, it’s been really tricky,” she said. “The show has been great, they’ve always been so supportive of everything.”

Selena recently revealed she turns to pal Taylor Swift when she’s in need of support.

“Taylor [Swift] has helped me through some really hard times, we talk every single day,” she said.

“It’s kind of amazing that someone like her, who has sold millions of records, is still humble.”
