It's 140 ft-lbs on the 5th gen too, FWIW. Any semi well-seasoned worker at an auto shop won't bat an eye at this because if you've worked on modern cars, you know that many newer vehicles have a lug nut torque spec that was once reserved only for trucks. I definitely think it's overkill, but I think that's the desired outcome -- to ensure there's no way they come loose on their own. I had one shop torque mine to only about 90 and they eventually got a little looser until I tightened them myself correctly. That shop was a Pep Boys (yeah, don't ask. I was in a pinch and had a pre-balanced pre-mounted tire/wheel that just needed to go on, figured it was simple enough.)
