My car weighs 3600 pounds and puts out 165HP/185lb-ft, and it suits me for everyday driving. I would love to have more power and a faster car, but I just don't need it.

i agree w/ this comment. I would also like to point out that America is a HUGE country and people use the interstates for travelling everywhere. So when people go on 9 hour trips (which happens a lot for Americans) you don't really want to feel every bump in the road. also, i don't know how old the pontiac you were driving was. But i have a 92 bonneville w/ about 170 hp and it's got plenty of get and go for me....Racing just isn't one of my concerns (especially when there is a speed limit).
BTW, the '04 CTS is going to have 260 HP, and the '03 CTS has 220....
