225hp/320ft.lbs.....very nice. Too bad the U.S. won't see the diesel engine.

320ft.lbs is pretty stout. Wonder how quick it is.

Considering the capability of other FWD cars with similar hp....0-60 in barely under 7seconds. and a 1/4 of under 16seconds.

Manual tranny and 320 ft.lbs of torque should yield a 0-60 run closer to 6.0sec. A Saturn Ion Redline will do it in 6 1/2 seconds with 100 ft.lbs or so less in torque.

I added some fluff in there because diesels have a longer stroke....the engine won't be spinning as fast as a gasoline engine. You might be right though; we'll never know.

The D5 combination with the automatic gearbox is terrible.
