Maybe I'm stupid but I think a turbo charged 4 cylinder is the perfect 
balance for economy and performance. I have a '94 Eclipse 2.0L turbo 
that puts out about 250HP in a 2800 lbs car and gets me 30MPG per tank, 
even though I punch it often. The V6 is nice for its low end torque, but 
once 1st gear is done my MT FWD Eclipse 2.0L turbo reigns.
