I think news stories are
I think news stories are getting mixed up. The downsized engines are most likely japanese market only. 1.5L turbo specs match power of the naturally aspirated 2.0L engine but probably gets a lot more MPG. 1.8L turbo has long been rumored to go in the Levorg - I think the original Levorg was supposed to have a 1.8L right up until it's release.
I'm betting we don't have clear news about US market changes.
