in the november issue of popsci theres a small article on this car with the following specs: Engine- 1.4 L 4cyl.Power- 168 hp Torque- 177 lb.-ft. 0-62 mph- 7.9 sec. Top Speed- 136 mph MPG- 30(city),48(highway)No plans yet to bring it to the states. I'd like to see those numbers out of my vibe GT.The tech: The supercharger is engaged at low rpms forcing air through the turbo and into the engine, when the turbo reaches sufficient speed it takes over while simultaneously the super disengages via an electromagnetic clutch, a valve shuts and bypasses the supers plumbing sending air staight to the turbo.

The HP is close to yours. The torque is a lot higher than yours due to the S/C & T/C. That is where it gets its power from. Top speed is about the same. But the mileage is stupidly high. Those numbers are obviously while not in boost, granny driving. What fun would that be!
