In fact, according to numerous reviews, the domestic-version Merkur XR4ti's
2.3L 4 is SAE rated at 175 (or thereabouts) HP, while the European 6 only
claims something in the neighborhood of 156.  Popular Mechanics notes this
with a line to the effect that this represents an unusual modification for
an import (export?) model.
