Its all marketing. Why buy a 220 hp 3.0 if they offer a cheaper 1.8T with 225 hp?

So why the hell have a 3.0 at all? Why not just have a G35-like bmw 330 competitor thats 1.8T?

Default Not everybody selects and compares cars based on max hp.

And, all car prices are artificial. Why is a 2.0 higher priced than a 1.6? Not because it cost more to build....again, all marketing.

Default Not everyone selects cars based on hp..but a good majority of them weigh it heavily in their

deciding factors...anyone who wants the best *bang* for their buck is obviously going to wonder why a similar priced car would have drastically more or less hp...

Default B/c here in the US of A it's cylinders that matter

why does Saab offer the 9-5 with the 3.0 V6? The 2.3T is by far a better option but people here are dumb like that. THey'd rather have a 6 even if it has less power while consuming more gas.

Default Better yet, why doesn't Audi just have a 3.x that puts out 240 or 250 hp, and the 1.8T with the K04

putting out like 225 hp?

It's all marketing...can't have the 3.0 with higher hp than the S4 that is currently out.
