Default 2014 Ford Focus ST vs. 2015 Subaru WRX Comparison

http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/...rx_comparison/

For the 2015 model year, the WRX is all-new. The four-cylinder boxer engine is back to its original 2.0-liter displacement (from 2.5 liters in the 2014 model), the turbo is a new twin-scroll design and moves from the top to the bottom of the engine, and a new six-speed manual transmission replaces the previous five-speed (a CVT is optional). Power is up slightly, with 268 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque
Are the new models still 2.5 when they arrive here?

Wonder why?

Also, if the article is correct with the WRX being 268BHP as standard, you must be looking around the 300 mark with something like PPP.
