| Re: 2008 Best Engine Of the Year Award Winners vabboud's why or why not this is right one liners! • Audi AG: FSI 2.0L turbocharged DOHC I-4 (Audi A3) deserving engine although the TFSI models are far better from all views • BMW AG: 3.0L turbocharged DOHC I-6 (335i Coupe) no comment • Daimler AG: 3.0L DOHC V-6 Turbodiesel (Mercedes E320 CDI) this is here because it is the only US sold diesel, there are many better diesels. • Ford Motor Co.: 4.6L SOHC V-8 (Mustang Shelby GT/Bullitt) SOHC in 2007? throw in a carburator! • General Motors Corp.: 3.6L DOHC V-6 (Cadillac CTS) a commendable effort by cadillac still short of the 21st century mark. • General Motors Corp.: 6.0L OHV V-8 Hybrid (GMC Yukon Hybrid) hybrid? my ass! HAHAHAHAHA • Honda Motor Co. Ltd.: 3.5L SOHC V-6 (Accord Coupe) how about that stirling steam engine? • Mazda Motor Corp.: 2.3L DISI turbocharged DOHC I-4 (Mazdaspeed3) nice effort by mazda, sweet engine, and should be reliable enough. • Nissan Motor Co. Ltd.: 3.7L DOHC V-6 (Infiniti G37) nissan knows its V6's, and this is no exception • Toyota Motor Corp.: 3.5L DOHC V-6 (Lexus IS 350) you can't have a 10 item list without having a 10th item |
