181 hp. More than a 1977 corvette.

To top it off, the 1.5 is built in Romania.

1.5 liters is equal to 1500 CC’s or 91.5 cubic inches.

In contrast my Harley engine is 1584 CC or 96 cubes.....and it’s never had a recall much less been in danger of catching fire.

Having said all that I’m sure the for sure gets decent mpg......that is as long as it doesn’t spontaneously combust.

Hear ya, but the tech is evolving in cool ways. My F150 has a 2.7 twin turbo v6 that puts out 325 horses and 375 foot pounds at 3,000 RPM. Yeah, the V8 would be my first choice... but I’m getting the same gas mileage as the Mustang it replaced.
