The head design is no contest, 4B11>>>>4G63. For block, as long as it can hold all the power it will ever produce, the lighter the better right? I mean its not like 4G63 is forged iron and 4B11 is made up of aluminum foil you find in your kitchen...

I just hope car manufacturers consider all possible angles before going all out alternative fuel, especially batteries, for any cars. I wonder how all the disposition and recycling of the batteries in the future when the cars expire? And refurbishing of all produced batteries including replacement batteries when they become obsolete due to another power alternative?
that is a real good point there. i never heard such a thing like a green battery or that matter, any battery what the green peace was happy about...
Anyway from they prospective, if we dont live like the people of Pendora, we are evil down to the bone.

If the evo XI is semi electric chances are so will the new STI, its all about competition, and knowing how these 2 are head to head, whatever one does the other will follow.

If Subaru is any smart they'll keep it the way it is and rake up all the ex Evo followers.
