besides marketing about AWD for traction, there's the horsepower race, where it now seems that getting above 250 hp for this class of car only begins to approach "respectability". Once the numbers keep climbing, then there's the hue and cry for AWD to put that power to the ground, control torque steer ad nauseum.
In the kind of world we are now transitioning to with higher fuel prices, it seems kind of crazy. Especially if your 300hp baby is smoked by someone with a 200 hp TDI car that can out-torque yours by 30%.
