Let the hp war begin

Subaru recently announced that the 2009 WRX will get a revamp in its performance and handling. Bad news to all those 08 wrx fan-boys(I'm obviously an evo fan) becuase the 09 will be receive the same 2.5 liter engine but with an increase in 41 hp and 18 lb. of torque over the 08 version bringing the final numbers out to 265 hp and 244 lb. torque. Why the sudden revamp? Oh yeah, remember that preview of the Mitsubishi Ralliart I posted a few weeks back? Sounds like Subaru's desperately trying to compete. Nice work Subaru but I don't care how much more hp you crank out of that boxer engine it still looks like a Ford Focus on steroids.
