Pretty impressive if you ask me." I'd damn well expect so with direct injection and 2 turbochargers. “Reading from another source these engines make 340+hp/340+lbs/trq in the V6 and 280/250+ in the 2.0L 4 cylinder.

But concerns that people will only see it performance boosting is just BS. You want to sell performance and sneak in F/econ on the side. Think having your Fruit Loops while forgetting that Kelloggs ground up muilt-vitamins and added them to the cereal. The power is sweet, and the F/econ is good for you too.
