I wish North America could get that engine! Unfortunately, most Canadians and Americans think power is more important than fuel economy.

Whenever I read a car review for a subcompact, the review often complains about a lack of power.

My last car had 52 horsepower.(VW diesel) Sure, it was slow, but for a car made the year I was born it got the same mileage as my 2007 Yaris. (same displacement, 1.5 L) True, I have double the horsepower now, but I'd rather get better MPG and have less power.

At the very least, I wish we had an engine choice.
