Inline 4. Almost all 4 cylinder engines, with the notable exception of Subaru's Boxer 4, have their combustion chambers stacked next to each other, in a line. Thus, Inline 4.

I think what Lume is saying is since the WRX is an H4 why it says I4.

Sounds like someone's brain was doing something funky... I and H aren't that close where you could confuse them that easily on the keyboard.

I thought "In line" pertained to the cylinders being in a straight line, as opposed to a V engine, where the cylinders are across from each other giving the shape of a "V" when in the engine block?

Because the "Competition" of the H4 is the I4
