Correct, a detuned version of the 2.5L will/is shipping in the 06 WRX.
On the gas mileage comments, most large I4's don't do well with gas mileage, like a 2.5L for instance. If you stay off the go pedal entirely and keep it under 3k RPM at all times, you'll see better around town mileage than the Cobra will see, however highway will be very similar. I wouldn't let gas mileage be a factor in looking at comparing these cars. The AWD with the Subbie is nice if you have to deal with inclement weather on any kind of frequent basis. For stoplight street races, the STi's are very difficult to beat.
