    Water + Quattro (greater than) Water + BMW or Vette or Lotus

    I think "S8" isn't the most correct moniker. I believe "S2" is more appropriate because then I can say it like "S-deuce" and make a pun of "seduce." Its alot of work for my rather stupid joke, but I'm pulling for Audi to make it happen.

    I'm happy to see more diesels in the US, but unless someone starts marketing them down range a bit, then i just don't get it. You're seriously advocating the 335d? It's $50K without options; over $60K to get it nice, and even then, you wind up with an automatic that won't keep pace with the 335i. Nice torque; that's cool. But the entire point of the plant is fuel economy. Let me have the 2.0l diesel with a stick in a light weight 3 series for less than $35K!

    Why no LS9? That's a fantastic engine. Driven gently, it delivers better fuel mileage in the 'Vette than my Subie ever does. And yes, I drive the Subie gently too. Damn brick.

    Hyundai's V8 is nice and all, but the pair of cylinders closest to the front of the car don't work and play well with others. They'd rather be in a Chinese car.

    The torque range on the ecoBoost blows me away.
    (Project lead) "I want 350 ft-lbs of torque. Can you do that?"
    (Engineer) "Sure. Where on the rev range do you want it?"
    (Waves indistinctly) "Anywhere."
    (Engineer shrugs) "Okey-dokey."
    Also: +1 for timing chains.

    The VW 2.0 Turbo is a fun engine. I drove it. It drives bigger than it is. Yowzah.

    A Chevy getting 32mpg used to be impressive. Now it's Chevy's sport-cute delivering 32mpg, and it's not as small as the sport-cutes used to be. Frankly, I'm damned impressed. My car won't do that, not even close, and it doesn't make nearly as much power, either.
    Damned impressed.

    I must protest. 7 of 10 engines on this list wear hats. I detest engine hats. Especially in an article which is advertised as Engin Pr0n.

    @DoctorNine: When did designers and the public start saying "Like, eeeew, engines are GROSS! Can you like, cover that hideous thing up with a giant flat slab of pretty plastic?"

    Or is there some reason that manufacturers want it to seem like a total mystery as to what is powering the car? "Hey, what's under there? DONT LOOK! It's a genie and he is f*cking angry."

    Dear car makers: I (we) think engines look cool and we would like to see them. Nobody likes your stupid plastic covers, so stop putting them on. What, is this the victorian era of underhood design? Next thing you know there will just be another hood under the hood when you open the hood.
