IF IT AIN'T A V8 IT'S JUST GAY AND STUPID AND DUMB. AND GAY.

Right... for once I have to agree with Tobias...

How many times do we have to go through an oil price hike before we start thinking with the big head for a change?

But, the hot chick in that ad for BMW wants me to buy a big Beamer!!

Why would I want a 1.0 liter 3 cylinder that puts out the same power and gets the same mileage as the 1.6 liter 4 cylinder but will surely cost a premium?

Doesn't make much sense to me...

It makes sense if you don't think about it...

Bingo...

I would be interested in that if I were commuting a long way. I just wish they would get off there ass and put a small diesel in one of these cars. A 1.6L Turbo diesel in a fiesta would get 65-70 MPG.

Back here there are some 1.4L turbodiesel ones, but made only for export because in Brazil any vehicle with a payload under 1-ton is not allowed to have diesel engine, except those 4WD hi/lo ones or if it carries the driver and at least more 9 passengers

But no restrictions for BIODIESEL

I'm amazed at how many people think this is something new. Europe and many other parts of the world have been driving 1.0 liter cars (some boosted - some not) for many years.

Even in the U.S. wasn't the GEO Metro offered with a 3cyl 1.0L engine for the hatchback?
