I think it's more about power levels from 2.0ltr and the resulting emmisions

More power = more emmisions

The manufacturers need to comply with the Euro emmisions standards to be competitive

152kw is quite good for a 2.0l NA engine, but trying to wring out much more, whilst retaining emmisions compliance is the issue

In the end the twins are bargain basement sports coupes out of the box, that also have great potential for those willing to play around a bit
