Re: WARDS Best Engine Awards 2007

Great post Wimmer

Glad to see Toyota's 3.5 litre V6 on the list, the 5.7 "HEMI" V8 might have pushrods but take it from me, it's a great engine. BMW's engine's, no surprise..

No Mercedes engine's..

Edit: Opps, i see the E320 Bluetec

The 3.0 V6 CDI might be classified as a DCX product, but it was developed by Mercedes and is used throughout the DCX empire.

No problem.

Ths part is even worse:

Ford Motor Co. Duratec 35 3.5L DOHC V-6 (Ford Edge/Lincoln MKX)
Ford Motor Co. 4.6L SOHC V-8 (Mustang GT/Mustang Shelby GT)
Mazda Motor Corp. 2.3L DISI turbocharged DOHC I-4 (Mazdaspeed3)
Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. 3.5L DOHC V-6 (Infiniti G35)
Toyota Motor Corp. 3.5L DOHC V-6 (Lexus IS 350)

I wonder how much advertising Toyota, Honda and Ford have in Wards site.

Looks like U.S. only, and in some cases the Merc CDI IS better.

Not surprised to see BMW there. I've said it before and say it again, they are engine building gods!
