And then there is something called 1.8l and 2.0l, which VW has a lot to spare.
But since this technology allow them to have 120HP/L and 140ft-lb/L, w/ a 2.0L, They'll be getting around 240HP and 280ft-lb of TQ. I'm pretty sure they don't need that kind of performance, so they make the displacement smaller and gain better gas mileage.
I don't really get your argument.
