    Yes, as much as I like sports cars like this, they do not fit this, German! :P

    I've spent more time in the Supra than the Z4, but they are fantastic driving vehicles.  The Supra is faster than the 86 obviously, but in both cases, they are like slipping on a perfect fitting running shoe that feels like part of your body more than a vehicle.

    • While there are some folk up here with lifted trucks and Jeeps, its not to the extent of that stupidity.  But I also think that Quebec has laws that prevents owners to have the tires protrude the wheel wells.  The vehicle above may not be street legal in Quebec, I dont think.   And Ill agree with you 100% with your bitchin' here.     The article talks about downsized engines, but does not mention not even ONE downsized turbocharged engine that has problems...  Im sure they do, but the article does not mention any. What the article DOES mention though are GM's V8s, Toyota's twin turbo'd V6s, and Ford's ecoboosted engines, and I assume they want to bitch about the 1.5 liter and the 2.0 ecoboost... but dont mention what ecoboost engines are a problem.  The 1.6 liter ecoboost had fire issues, but those were fixed.  The 1.6 was reliable... The 2.7 and 3.5 V6s were all reliable. The early 3.5s had teething problems but were fixed.  What the article REALLY focuses on though are the THIN oils manufacturers WANT to use.  For fuel savings. I personally dont think downsized 4 cylinder engines are a problem.  MOST of them are quite reliable.  Again, with proper maintenance.  But as with the article states, thin oils probably dont lubricate enough and well...problems...  The article states that even with thicker oils, that only masks the problem and then uses GM's newest gen 6.2 liter V8 to use as an example.  Well...a 6.2 liter V8 from GM was not exactly downsized. It was upsized from the 5.7 liter LS1 and 6.0 liter LS2 from 20 years ago.   If Toyota and GM did shytty manufacturing on their engines lately, THAT has NOTHING to do downsized 4 cylinder turbo'd ones... If Honda done phoqued up with their 1.6 liter turbo 4 because of headgasket issues, well...Honda done phoqued up with their headgaskets. Its NOT a downsized problem issue. Its a manufacturing issue.  Like the title suggest: Manufacturing shortcuts and tighter tolerances compromise reliability across major brands.   But NOT how the take-away points out Key Points Modern engines face high failure rates, prompting massive recalls from major automakers. Downsizing, turbochargers, and thin oils increase engine stress and vulnerability to defects. Automakers need to prioritize durability over marginal efficiency gains.   Its NOT about downsizing and turbo-charging. It IS about thin oils and manufacturing short cuts...
