A reason they probably "detune" the engine is so that it doesn't detract from sales of the V6 model. Why would you spend a few extra thousand dollars for just a few more HP? VW did this when they released the 1.8T engine in the US so it wouldn't canibalize sales from the VR6, 150hp vs. 174hp. You can easily chip tune ~40hp out of a 1.8T, I'm sure the same or better can be done for the Hyundai engine provided they use a turbo that is bigger than your fist! Also that 100,000 mile warranty. If they comprimise reliability they have to eat the cost of repairs for 10 years. Just my $.02 Smile
