Of course. But I guess you know what I mean. Put a very sophisticated engine in a random small econobox, and its price will also increase accordingly, so the average Joe would eventually consider it disproportionately more expensive in a comparison to a slightly larger car or even a small crossover SUV.

My 2 liter turbo, intercooled injected makes officially as much hp as my 7.3 liter diesel. 200 hp. Torque, not so much by a lot but it wont drag 10tons either.

Not exactly to that extent, but a few years ago I was quite impressed to see trucks and vans with engines around 2.0 to 3.0L performing as well as what I would expect anything with a 4-liter engine at least to perform 20 years ago.
