Agree or disagree?

Take out the Fords and GM's and they'll be on the right track. I think the C32B engine and the F20C deserves something.

wheres toyota?... oh wait.. they havent changed their engines in 12 years.....

And thats why i want one

What happend to the
D17 SOHC 1.7l [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

RSX-s, here i come (like in 5 years when my insurance goes down :cry[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

Why change something that works? Thats whats good about Toyota. They might be a little dated by they are proven and reliable designs.

I was thinking the same thing.

Should have put the new infinity/nissan engine VQ35.

I thought the 3.5 DOHC V6 in the Altima was a VQ series engine?No?

I'll have to go with BMW 3.2L DOHC I-6 (M3), 333 hp from 6 cyl and 3.2L with no help from supers or turbos. If only Honda could do the same thing with the 3.2L V6 Accord. I know I know Accord is a family car. Doesn't hurt to dream though.

There's a huge difference in potential output from an inline 6 than there is a V6...Inline's can make alot more power, but they ned very beefy heavy cranks to avoid torsional flexing

BMW AG 3.2L DOHC I-6 (M3) + SMG =

They forgot D17 [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

My brother in law has the 330ci. Excellent engine, just so highly refined and a great balance of luxury and pure sport. I want to experience the new Nissan engines and the RSX-s also. As far as Toyota engines, they already carry accolades from when they were new, I'm not sure how often that list repeats old winners as new ones again. My only complaint about Toyota not changing the engines is that I would love to see what they could make now, since these are considered older. I would love to see a new Toyota V6, totally new. Imagine how smooth that could be.....potential bmw fighter. (M3 excluded)

The Altima is a VQ series engine

wheres the M5's motor, since they already have a nice collection of bimmer engines goin.

yep, nissan parts bin

If the engines are supposed to be new, or substantially revised, what´s up with the VW´s 1.8T? Only thing they have done is increase the turbo´s psi to boost power.

And what´s new about Ford´s 5.4 liter?

what about mazdas new rotory????

How about the potential from the D17 i mean cmon its already like a 10 second car itself turbo that sucker and ur on ur way to like a 6 second car.

The 5.4L SOHC is a very solid engine. Even so, I'm surprised they didn't nominate the 5.4L DOHC Navigator engine...or even the new Cammer.
