290 hp, 267 lb-ft for the brand new acura when bmw has 300/300, infiniti has 328hp, 269 torque, 306/277 for the lexus, and 329 hp, 354 lb-ft for the new c class..

maybe im wrong, but with the crap reputation acura has, i think they should have came out swinging a little harder than 290hp ... just based on the above figures it seems acura is exactly where it was before the TLX, right behind all its competition..

Maybe the new Euro Civic Type-R's turbo 2.0L? Some say it can produce over 300hp...
