  1. He is ignoring torque. The 1.2 would make the Granada a slug due to its low torque despite its higher power. Not as simplistic as he suggests.

  2. Big part of the difference is that Europe had nowhere near as strict emission laws to comply with so this is not a realistic comparison. Eg even the Mercedes 3.5 litre V8 had to go to 4.5 litre but with less power than the European 3.5 on the US market to meet the stricter US emission levels allowed.

  3. Music choice strike.
