When you have competition from Ford in the form of a Turbo Focus ST and a SUBARU in the form of a WRX. Anything less than FI will be a disappointment.
I don't see the big deal with HP cause the way I see it its more about how the car drives, feels and puts down that power that I care about.

I'm going to assume you mean the Sonata since its the only 2.0 from Hyundai that makes 250hp+ (274HP) but I wouldn't want that engine considering Hyundai themselves said that the engine was meant to be a v6 alt as oppose to a high performance engine which is clear when you consider that with 274hp it makes its run from 0-60 in 6.5s while the Civic Si with 197 makes the same run in 6.8s

Build me a proper sports car with enough power for fun then a car with lots to brag about on paper but not very impressive drive. Specs do not define a car if this thing has 200HP and is a blast to drive then it'll be awesome I will say tho I would like a turbo option but one that is actually designed to be a performer and not just look good on paper
