Whats this then?

The Subaru WRX range is growing just a little bit larger, at least in Japan, with the automaker's teasing announcement of a new version called the S4. Unfortunately, the company is keeping details about its latest all-wheel drive sport sedan a closely guarded secret for the moment.
From what we can glean, it appears that the S4 might be a more luxurious take on the WRX. According to the release, the name stands for the four qualities that Subaru wants the sedan to have: "'Sports performance', 'Safety performance', 'Smart driving' and 'Sophisticated feel.'" As part of this focus, the car comes with the company's EyeSight camera system. Thankfully, we don't have too long to wait to find out what all of the buzz words actually mean because Subaru is unveiling the S4 on August 25 in Japan.
The automaker also launched a teaser website for the S4 that you can cheek out, here, but at the moment it doesn't provide any more details about the new sport sedan. The site just has countdown until the August reveal. There's also no indication yet whether this potentially more premium WRX could make it US shores.

All I'd like to know is... will the UK be getting the dreaded 2.5l or amazing 2.0l engine with the new WRX S4?
Seeing as the magazine shots are from a Japanese magazine it indicates that they'll have the 2.0l engine, but seeing as the new WRX STI has the 2.5 Subaru USA engine I'm a bit sceptical that we'll be seeing the 2.0l engine unless we import the WRX S4 from the JDM market.

not sure if Subaru are bringing the new WRX to the UK.
