all this horsepower talk is overrated.
I just came back from germany and drove on the autobahn (no limits) for two weeks in an audi a4 avant with a 1.6l 4cyl. thought it would be short on power, but look out. cruised at 115mph for hours on end and had all the power I needed. driving in the US with speed limits and radar traps makes high hp a waste. no place to use and really enjoy it.
saab is right on that it really is better off providing a fuel efficient, 4 cyl turbo with decent hp and fast 30-70 times. this is what you really need to move on a highway on ramp and get out of the way of others. 0-60 is overated since who really drag races anymore.
