“Keep that number in mind, I’ve said it over and over as to what I’d want in any size, brand, style daily driver I’d buy. 1hp per every 16.5lbs nothing less.”
The automotive world does not revolve around you and your demands of a car, and it never will.
The automotive industry revolves around a billion other consumers who don’t care about hp/lb. They care about fuel economy, safety, affordability, and reliability.
If average Joe Foreigner lives in a country where cars are taxed by their displacement or their total specific output, then what good is a 2.0L performance Buick to him? Sure, it has appealing content, but the engine is makes too much power and puts him at an unfair tax disadvantage. HP/LB won’t mean a thing to him.
This whole ordeal has nothing to do with options; options are good.
The RIGHT OPTIONS that appeal to THE MOST NUMBER OF PEOPLE are what matters; not your individual tastes.
You can keep your pensioner rock.
