I found, so it answers my questions! http://www.subaru-global.com/lineup/forester/index.html

Although a Forester STI Type-UK may be of interest!

The top JDM version has 220ps turbo engine. The top Euro version will be turbocharged, but not at 220ps (I think sth like 180ps).

177ps according to the link above, but I don't know if that relates to the JDM 'standard' Forester or the Euro/US (maybe) ones!

The present UK S-turbo has 177ps, so by the looks of things the new one will retain the same engine. The new car is, however, 20Kg lighter (I think) and comes out around november. It's already out in the US, there's info in the forester forum on www.i-club.com.

Has this been restyled by the New Styling Guru who used to be at Alfa??

As it looks great - thats how a re-style should be........not the numpty bug-eye look that was given to the Imp.....
