What the article failed to
What the article failed to mention that could skew some of the numbers, is that Subaru decided to discontinue the turbo 2.0 XT, and also the six-speed manual transmission specifically on the Forester in the past few years, so the value of the slightly older models has increased. The recent models have a fractional increase in power compared to the (somewhat unsatisfying) 2.5i but nowhere near the XT power and torque.
