A modern successor to the AE86 doesn't mean the SAME performance of a 25 year old car for crying out loud...
112 bhp out of 1.6L in 1985 was pretty amazing I believe... As was the fact that is was a DOHC 16v head. It wasn't designed for economy then, and it's not going to be the focus now either.
Edit: 2002 Silvia in the US? WTF are you talking about? 240SX ended here in like the late 90's, s14 chassis.

240sx end '98 was it?
Yeah, 86 was sports car back in the day. I'm pretty sure other 86 owners can explain how high tech the 86 was.
