I must assume Nissan has begun the same practice, and will be disassembling my VQ engine and measuring the displacement. Perhaps we ARE all driving 360 Z's!  |
Yeah I'm a little shocked about BMW too. And actually, Mercedes has started messing with the numbers matching the displacement too. The new CL63 AMG, for example, has a 5.5L bi-turbo V-8. Their justification is that with the turbos, it has the 'equivalent' displacement of a NA 6.3. I wonder if that's the logic that BMW is using too (3.0 + turbo = 3.5).
