Went from 321 hp in the M3 to 280hp in the Impreza to 250hp in the GTA - am already finding the GTA (just a bit) underpowered in certain situations compared to my previous cars - don't think a 1.9 liter diesel will tug at my heartstrings the way my GTA does... would want my next car to probably be 300hp+, which is one of the reasons I was interested in the 4WD high powered version of the Brera that is slated to come out in 2 years - just saying that if it has a 100% GM transplant under the hood I won't be driving a Brera no matter how fine it looks...
