But again, you ignore the problem. This 'need' for 'performance' - not to be confused with what performance really is. No car or SUV needs anything larger than a four cylinder (standard or high performance version) because no car needs all that wonton acceleration. (Acceleration being confused with performance.) Acceleration need is due to psychological hype - just like the SUV driver who needs to be higher.
