However, it does not account for the difference in millage even for cars of an equivalent engine capacity. Other factors are, as you say, weight. Also, tuning, we seem to be able to take an engine and get more power out of it than you do. . one major problem here is the restrictions on emissions, t...

Happy 4th to everyone it applies to, wont be round here till monday!

[quote="Reliant121"] small American straight 5/Straight 6, quote] well i get the idea, but you won't find very many straight 5s or 6s. we like our vees here. save for the small pickup from chevy/gmc and the H3. ford used to have a I-6for the F-150, a bullitproof motor, they never die and J...

The problem we have here in Canada (at least in Quebec), is that while the Asian cars will cost a bit more then its American counterpart, it's a lot more reliable (needs less repairs), will last longer, and is usually built better and looks nicer. the problem with that is, the first part of that is...

To say you travel more thus need bigger cars is BS...
