You have fun with that. Using one product to classify an entire company is the most asinine thing I've read today. If I had your mentality, I wouldn't own a GM...

I would have thought by now you'd have read enough of my posts to realize I don't generally lump everything together this way Chill out man! On the other hand, I have had enough trouble with enough Fords I still won't support them.

Actually, ours are all ambulances so they wouldn't like help him much here (but we still want to unload them). We only buy GM'* now. The City of Toronto has transitioned over to a Chev chassis on their ambulances and claim maintenance costs have decreased hundreds of thousands of dollars since.

Then I offer a public apology for jumping you like that. I am sorry for overstepping my bounds.

Don't be worrying. I should have put a laughy face or something

Not really that hard to make a direct injected engine, or turbo one for that matter. Turbos, and to a lesser extent superchargers, are probably going to be more and more common in the next few decades I bet. Turbos especially, make engine efficiency much more higher.

Ford'* AUS division has had twin turbo I-6'* for a long time, and a lot of enthusiasts have really wanted the falcon to be brought here with that motor. Yet we still get the overbloated 500/Taurus.

I foresee a time when they make direct air injection also; to control exactly how much HP is made while driving. Why make 240HP to cruise at 65 when 20 works just as well.

They do control air.. it'* called a throttle. Cars aren't @ peak HP while cruising....

BMW'* new double vanos system controls the valve lift so much, it doesn't need actual throttles anymore. IIRC Nissan can do this as well.

Ford is planning on bringing the falcon over in 09 I think, to combat the G8 (I could be wrong)

Bring me the falcon!
