I remember thinking that was odd when I first saw it. However I've read some complaints from Aussies who felt that the Alloytec was not a big enough leap forward considering the efficient fuel useage of the older 3800, refined through 16 years (in their case) of engineering.

Reminds me of my initial reaction to the Cadillac CTS engine when it arrived as compared to my Bonneville's supercharged 3800.
