Since when is anything with 400hp underpowered?

My wife's Volvo XC90 is 4500 lbs and it's 300 hp inline 4 is more than enough to get it moving fast.
I know from 1st hand experience with my current X5M comp that these big SUV/SAC's need a big V8 to get moving. Thus the S68 is required for the XM, not the B58 (unless it's a typo and should be S58).
