Hope this doesn't become a repost. But for those who didn't know, our infamous VQ motor for our G35 has been recognized in Ward Auto.com as worlds top ten best engine list.

You're going to get the timeline for this....

 

Ummmm....its been that way for the last 12 years, most of us already know.

 

..not..really

 

are you kidding? Wards Automotive Yearbook, ever hear of that? I used it for an industry analysis in one of my marketing classes, and let me tell you that book has ALL the information you need on the auto industry. I remember noticing how this nissan engine has been up there for a really long time.

Wards is probably the best source available for anything on the auto industry.

 

Only the Lexus IS350 has a better 6 cylinder.

 

Actually the BMW S54 engine is even better.

 

+1--- No surprises here......hard to beat. though Nissan needs to address the NVH..... Seems they could learn something from Toyota here

....and I'm not surprised that the "Honeymoon" is over for the hybrids.
I considered the hybrid version of the Civic that I'm buying, but power just wasn't there, and to recoup the extra money to buy that version would take way too long.

good ****

 

So not true. Bush just passed his bill for 1.8 Billion for Hydrogen Cell research. Hybrids are gonna only get bigger.

 

That's the point: they need to get better to make them affordable.

The "honeymoon" they're talking about is with what's available today----I agree that they will improve, and when they do, I'll consider again

How did the 4G63-T not make it??? or did I miss it?
