Ok, maybe this isn't for us, as the crowd here is of a certain type that ends up in compact car, so yea, of coarse we say, "I only get that to tow." But let’s look at the real world, as disgusting as it is. How often do you see those SUV's loaded to the gill towing things? How often do you see a lonely soccer mom driving one with nothing/no one in it? 100:1?? So for the 1 person, yea they need that V8, but the other 99 never will, so to be able to go to an i4 or v6 from that unneeded v8, is a huge step forward. Europe widely adopted turbo'd i4s decades ago, so to see them starting to pop up in one of the most popular SUVs of the last 15 years is a big set forward for American car makers. Think of all those new 300, chargers and the like, with those ridiculously unneeded v8s, when you could through these turbo'd i4s in there, get the same power, and 75% better gas mileage. That gives me hope for a little sanity from the American car makers.
