That's a very good improvement indeed. I hope they keep making cars capable of this rather than focusing on retaining all the muscle of the original vehicle. That's what angers me the most is that they don't think we can live without a 6 second 0-60. Take the jeep liberty for example, they put a diesel in it (finally something practical with a diesel in it!) but it's freaking 250 hp! Yeah 30 mpg, could have gotten 40 or more with a reasonable engine in there.
