Why is the newer Honda engine block lack of hp compare to older engines??

[jeff_ong]

i am just curious how come Honda engine blocks in newer models are lack in hp and torque compared to older engines like those b16a, b16b, b16c and b18's.
i have seen the review in the latest coupe model launched in u.s. where the honda civic coupe is fitted with a 1.8cc engine block but it only produces 140hp. it is so dissapointing to see so few hp in a 1.8cc honda engine unlike the prime time of the v-tec in the b16's , and b18's engine block....

is it becoz that honda is looking for fuel efficient engine with power rather than just powerful engine with high fuel consumption???

*by the way i still love the roars of the honda blocks of B's like b16's and b18's...
