I heard that the SAE methodology changed for measuring horsepower and that it affected mostly Japanese cars so I checked out Toyota website and sure enough, Avalon has been changed from 280hp to 268hp and then I checked the Acura website and the TL has been lowered from 270 to 258. Fortunately it looks like the Maxima stayed the same at 265. I searched for the article, but I couldn't find it on the web. MAybe someone can post a link.

 

yeah, and you're the 5th one to post about it.

the 06 brochure has an * stating new standards would lower it.
