Well like I said, I'm willing to withhold judgment until we know final performance specs (or hell, even final hp numbers, since this 465 number is still far from confirmed from what I gather), but that number is still somewhat disappointing. CAFE standards or not, with all the tech they're packing in this new gen, I would expect that they could squeeze out more than just an 8% gain.

We should all take those curves with a grain of salt. When data is plotted on the same graph, the torque and horsepower curves for two engines should ALWAYS cross at EXACTLY the same rpm. They do not on this graph, so the graph is bogus.

That's assuming the hp and torque graphs are on the same scale which they clearly are not in this case.

Unfortunately it's not about what they CAN do. It's about what they WILL do. And everything we've heard indicates that they have are striking a balance between great fuel economy AND power. As the other poster said, if HP was their only goal, they could easily get more. Unfortunately it is not their only goal.
