Torque is what moves the car.

You can multiply TQ with lower gears to get more TQ, you can not do that with HP. You have to get more HP to go faster. Very simple concept but so out of grasp of so many. That being said I prefer not having to gear my car so low to go fast so I tend to want lats of cubes in a small package.
