Media leaks from reliable sources have confirmed that Subaru will be bringing their Forester XT — T as in Turbo — to the States.

The 227-hp intercooled turbo, borrowed from the sporty WRX, will power the XT Forester, giving it a 62-hp boost over the 165-hp Forester wagon of today.

The XT is currently sold in Europe and Japan, but we don't expect it to arrive in the States until sometime late in the 2003 or early 2004 calendar year. These pictures of the XT were shot while it was undergoing testing in the southwestern part of the U.S.
