They basically bottlenecked the sedan's engine a little so it could be less noisy and more quiet. If they apply the same science to the GDI V6 it will not come with 333 hp. And I know they will because it's a sports coupe and not a Lexus LS/GS fighter.
And one more thing the 333 hp engine is in the sedan so we are arguing about it.

I do understand what you're saying. I've actually been following the Lambda engine since they launched the GC. They took the 290hp v6 engine from the GSedan changed the intake valve timing, intake camshafts, gave it slightly more aggressive exhaust valve springs, pistons, rods, and oil pumps and put that in the GC. They're two different engines. For the 2012MY they upped the compression ratio and added GDI to squeeze out another 43hp. You're saying, by upping the CR and adding GDI to the GC's v6 will give it the same 43hp the GSedan got making it ~349hp. Right? That's assuming they didn't take any of the changes from the GC's v6 over to the new GSedan's v6.
For arguments sake, lets say they get 349hp(+43hp) out of the 2012 GC v6. My original point was "we expect only modest gains" in comparison to the v6's gains.
How would gaining 67hp from the i4t be modest in comparison to gaining 43hp in the v6? Modest is not the adjective I would use when talking about putting the 274hp Sonata i4t in the GC.
