Are we not expecting 200hp 30mpg+ and CVT? Not to mention a refresh on the styling.
Are you being serious? (you've jambed my sarcasm detector) I love Subarus and expect good things in the upcoming models/updates but I think your expectations may be too high. I don't think 200hp+AWD+30mpg is possible. (unless maybe some kind of hybrid but I don't see that as a realistic possibility either)

As far as the Mazda's specs seeming "old fashioned," the original post was incomplete. Here is a few of the highlight features/options:
