You can almost get the same answer with the difference in displacement, knowing Gen1 was a 2.0 and Gen2 is a 2.4:
(2.4 / 2.0) x 205 = 246 crank
Basically, the car makes about 250 crank, give or take 5 hp. Fair enough?

Over in Australia, the reporting is not so much that the new gen have understated hp at the crank, its that the last gen were producing far below the stated numbers.
Our untuned gen 1's were ~150hp at the wheels - consistently.
