I'm totally OK with a 4-cylinder engine. In fact, I've enjoyed all of my cars with 4-bangers, the Mitsubishi and Subaru 2.0 turbos are great. My favorite though was my 1.7L v-tech. In a small, light car, that engine would be a gem. Hmm, sounds suspiciously similar to the Elise that we have in the states with the Toyota engine.  |
The flat-six is central to the specialness of Porsches for me. I love the way the 968 drives, for instance, but the four banger means I wouldn't ever buy one.
There are plenty of four pots out there. It would be a real tragedy if Porsche started to phase the flat-six out.
