Hyundai Sonata is a perfect example. The new turbo 2.0 is making 274hp, beating everyone of the other automakers V6's. And its MPG rating is outstanding considering most V6 cars are putting down mid to high 20's highway, this car is putting down low 30's!!
The horsepower war is on all the way around, not just V8's anymore. GM should show its Ecoboost beating turbo 3.0 in a year or so. I believe it will debut in either the upcoming Cadillac XTS or ATS.
Right, but even a 10 year old LS1 car with a T56 can hit high 20s, low 30s and that's with 90's tech and 305 hp. Given that, I'm still not impressed. Hell, my GTP hit 30+ before I dicked with it and that's a 97.
