Maybe a little extreme, but realistic. A lot of these entry level "luxury sedans" are getting less than 300hp, and the average car today is pushing 250+hp, so yeah, it's quite possible. Maybe not a Focus, but it would get passed by a Hyundai Sonata in a minute...(turbo offers 2.0L 4 banger with 274hp)

Once upon a time, there was a reason why GM and Ford were failing, and it was because they weren't getting this! You can build performance, you can build huge SUVs, but if you arent building quality and reliability, people are going to go elsewhere.
Both companies have really started turning it around the last 3-4 years, but Hyundai has turned it around in an even bigger way over the last 6-8 years. They're building very sporty and reliable cars with good fuel mileage while still being fun to drive. Including turbos and a V8, it's also the only Asian lineup that offers a V8 in any of their cars. Hyundai is far more American made than most cars in the states too, with several plants here in the US.
