Yeah, but torque doesn't win you the horsepower hero dyno challenge!
Real world example, going from a 127kW diesel Hilux to a 120kW Cruze - only a pooftenth of power difference and the Cruze is lighter, but you have to wring the guts out of the cruze to get anywhere while it was effortless in the hilux. I miss having a diesel for that alone, but equally I cant wait for the new Rex!
