Audi 2.0T versus Solstice 2.0 LNF

Numbers:

2009 Audi 2.0T A6----horsepower 211 (actually an increase of 11 hp over 2008
torque 258 lb-ft (actually a huge increase of 58 over 2008)

2008 Solstice GXP---well known 265 hp
well known 265 lb-ft torque. Note that this is 2008 GM vs 2009 Audi

2009 Audi A6 3.2----horsepower 265
torque 243

Wow, that's it. Where is the beef? Where is the beef? So much hype about V-6s from Audi I just had to read up on this.
So, if I'm not mistaken, the Solstice GXP outperforms both Audi engines in its more expensive coupe and sedan and even the overwrought TT soapdish, and we have to repeatedly listen to this type of hype. Give me a break. Or let Audi engineers study their German and American counterparts better.
