205 NM is on the leaked datasheet; this converts to 151 LbFt. The confusion lies with the magazines making estimates. The problem is, working with Japanese engineers, they will never refute statistics pre-release or confidential that would make them look bad, so when Motor Trend et al ask "will it have 170 LbFt?", the engineers will not say no.

At this point, I'll trust the leaked datasheet far more than the usually-wrong magazine guesses.
