Another point might be marketing position: right now, I can install a 135 hp Thielert in my Warrior that will give me more-or-less the same performance as the 160 hp Lycoming currently in it, only burning about 35% less fuel. Most North American owners would be more interesting in performance -- selling a 180 hp engine that makes my Warrior fly like a Cherokee 236 (20 kt faster, much bigger useful load) with the same amount of fuel I'm currently burning would be much more interesting.
