I'll admit, I'm biased. I've always been into the idea of making more with less. One day when gas costs more than an m60 on the black market, and manufacturers are finally forced to start using ingenuity instead of engine size to create power and performance, then, I'll be happy.
Edit: I should also say, those manfacturers would pretty much constist of any American, British, or German company.

Uhhh news flash, Horser Power is ALWAYS a function of gasoline and air. To make X Horse Power requires Y amount of gasoline, period. You think a 2.0 litre engine putting out 300HP is somehow magically creating energy out of thin air and requires less gasoline than a V8 putting out 300HP?
Did you even notice the fuel economy on the new Corvette? It's nearly 30MPG on the highway.
