I know. And it always amazes me, why is the American market so damn
power-hungry? From what I've read in several tests in renowned US car
magazines, a car with less than 150 hp is considered a slug these days,
nothing less than 200 hp seems to be needed to sell in the US today. Why? See
the same thing with the Golf. the 2.0 is the smallest engine you get. It's one
of the largest we get in the same car. Here it starts with a 1.4 with 75 hp,
and it sell quite well. The Passat and Audi A4 start with a 105 hp 1.6, while
the bottom shelf on the A6 is occupied by a 1.8 with 125 hp. Wont sell in the
US. Wont be understood by me.
