Yeah I'm with IS-SV here but those models have likely lost millions and failed miserably and only continue on b/c its better than discontinuing them.

It looks like a great step up over what they were producing before but I don't know if it has enough performance to blow the competition away. The 295 lb/ft of torque seems pretty cool
