It wasn’t so much the displacement as it was the physical dimensions of the hemi engine which was just over 30 inches wide (30.5).

The headline struck me as odd - more of a “wow they actually did it!” kind of headline rather than say “Volvo did as expected” sort of headline.  

Bean counters have an awful lot of input in the final product and since they tend to sit higher on the pole they can and have overridden actual engineers on products.

So the question that begs to be asked what was the criteria for selecting the focus group?

Not give a shit what your boss wants...

I always have a hard time feeling bad for DeLorean. Its not so much the drug bust as it was the way he treated people.
