I think the "need" comes from today's driving habits. Do I need a mini-van with 250 HP? Absolutely! If I want a chance in he11 of stepping out into freeway traffic and not getting smeared by some SUV or truck - I need all 250 of those ponies to do that. I think the same goes for trucks (those who are actually hauling something). You need the HP and torque to get the vehicle and its load up to speed much faster today, than you did 20 years ago.
