Subaru Motors...
I gotta buddy with a wrx, and he swears every day that he has a porsche motor. He thinks that because it is a BOXER motor, not a BOXSTER motor, which doesnt even have the same amount of cylinders. Now, am i right or is he?

they are called boxer motors because they are boxer motors, not because porsche uses them. the pistons "box" each other, meaning they move symmetrically outwards and inwards and come together at the same time.
it is similar to a porsche motor in the layout, but other then that it shares no common similarity.

Flat engine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Every Subaru has a boxer engine. For that matter, so does every new Porsche. And they all use the boxer engine for the same reason - performance.
