Exactly. But that's what you get in a culture obsessed with 0-60 mph times and quarter-mile speeds. Most people just don't understand how much fun it is to drive an "underpowered" turbodiesel or a hybrid like the Prius (the 1.5 CVT is actually as quick as most 2.0 automatics...).
Oh well... someday cars will come with door stickers that show not only peak hp and torque, but will give a torque graph as well as an MPG / km/l graph (much like ecomodders use) to let people know what they're getting into.
