I believe so. You know those nights you're at the bar, spitting your game to a lady, just about to seal the deal. But then, all of a sudden, one of those really douchey guys with a popped collar comes in and swoops her right from under you. But, turns out that the bro has trouble with the ole whisky dick when they…

No rotaries on a best engines list on jalopnik?! What has this world come to?

Porsche was subject to immense scrutiny and a torrent of opinions and editorials when the Cayenne was announced, with plenty of publications and websites screaming the death of the company. Had the Cayenne done badly, that might just have happened.

There is a flaw in this list.
There is no Coyote. Coyote is the new LS.

Ford 5.4L DOHC. 662hp in stock form and a bottom end that will easily handle much more. Incredible that you can buy a 600+ hp car from the factory with a 36 month warranty and still get 24 mph hwy. Throw a few bolt ons in the mix and you are past the 700hp barrier. It is the same engine that powers 2000+ hp Ford…

I'm not sure if I'd name it as the very best, but I nominate the V10 in the Lexus LFA for its sound alone.

7.3 Power Stroke because 500k mile is a piece of cake :]

Formula 1 V10's Why? Because ear porn.

While I agree that the Prius is not even close to being the prettiest car out on the roads, I would NOT mind driving around in one of these:

Facial reactions as you scroll down the page...

How about NO cylinders?

The 3-banger in the awesome Honda Beat.

Ford found they were missing a suitable engine to power the hot variant of the second generation Focus, so they stole Volvo's aluminium 5-cylinder, changed the compression and all that malarky and crammed the result in the Focus ST. Then they decided to have some fun and the RS and RS500 were born.
