If I want to pass my grandmother in her V6 Camry on the freeway, I shouldn't have to downshift, peg it, and pray that she takes her foot off the accelerator.

While I'm not expecting a 350hp 2-liter, 200hp here in 2011/12 isn't THAT much to ask. I'm actually pretty confident that it will be pretty damn close to 200hp with all the tech going into it and knowing Yamaha is getting their hands on it.
You're right, it should be close to 200hp. Maybe a few hp less on Toyota model, and a few hp more in Scion . If you want a little more HP, you can go to aftermarket for easy bolt-ons.
