that with the stated 220 hp for the 4-cyl version in a car weighing 4100 pounds, the 4 cylinder version could well have somewhat underwhelming performance.
An 18.6:1 power to weight ratio is not something to get anyone's pulse racing. It's about what you get with in a 9000 CS or current 9-5 Linear wagon. Adequate, but perhaps not enough to sway new customers from something with a more potent V-6. Too bad it can't have more like 250 or 260 hp.
