More torque > more HP, at least for me. But even if both were added, there would always be people "NEEDS MOAR POWAH!!!11!!!" |
I agree with all those points.
If there's going to be any interior changes, the only benefit this car should see is improved material quality. Under a philosophy of, the less hard plastics the better. If they can improve the space efficiency of the interior that's also welcome.
Power...even if this car put out 300 hp, 300 lb.ft of torque plenty will still say its not enough because the Mustang, Camaro or Challenger still put out more. Maybe its me acting like an old man...but I don't find lots of power to be all that useful in most driving situations. For the majority of cars I find 150 to the 170 range acceptable. Only slow, heavy and cumbersome stuff like the CUVs, minivans and trucks feel they need to be in the 250 range. I've heard the complaints about 200 hp, and after a test drive I concluded that not only this was more power than my previous cars but even better it was power I could easily use. If my driving routine is so slow that 420 hp is a total waste...why do I want the fuel bill of such an engine when I can't use it to its potential...?
