In the US maybe.
It's more a matter of wether it can be sold to the US public, rather than what power it can make.
This side of the pond we've had high powered 4 cylinder, lower displacement cars for quite a while, as V6s and V8s are really niche products in Europe.
Cars that are mostly sold with 4 in-lines here in Europe, with an optional or even unavailable V6, end up with the V6 as the base engine in the US.

It's a good thing that this trend is finally starting to change.
