I always been wondering why they changed the engines in USA?. I dont recall if its the same 1.8 engine, But why did they make it 2.2 and only give it 130 hp?.
I meen, Why not just make the same engines everywhere, You should've had the 1.8 or 2.0 like in Japan and europa. But there has always been difference on USA's models compared the Japan / EU models.. Is it to reduce prices?, Legal reasons?. Someone help

The US doesn't want us to enjoy a fast or semi-fast Japanese car. Unless it cost $80k+
