When you compare the VR38DETT to the LS7 , the Chevy produces way more HP/letter-number.

I disagree that it's changing the pick up truck landscape. I agree it belongs on the list. But there are not near as many Ecoboost F150s over the V8s. Just because it's "better" doesn't really mean that it's changing the landscape. It's not like GM is racing to put the new twin turbo 3.6L in the Silverado. Or Dodge to…

Cadillac's current baby is Magnetic Ride. You can get mag ride, a twin turbo V6, an 8 speed auto, and Brembos, which is a very good performance package. They're also trying with Cue, although they're having the same growing pains as iDrive.

Even Ford guys know what's up.

No, seriously. All of them.

This pile of crap? Seriously?

Same...I don't get it. Easily the best-sounding V6 ever made. Crazy power for its size when they came out, extremely reliable, tons of aftermarket support...I don't get what's not to love.

There is a lot of irrational hate for the VQ here in Jalopnik land. Doesn't make much sense to me because it is so subjective, but apparently they don't like the sound of it. I think the sound is intoxicating. I guess if you can't criticize the reliability, power or efficiency you go for the sound it makes.

The Nissan VQ series of engines. It can be found stateside in anything from your shitty beater Maxima up to a 370Z...Overseas it can be found in anything from a Renault Samsung(whatever the hell that is),a speed wagon in the form of a Nissan Stagea and even the old SKyline and 350Z JGTC entries.

I believe that the S54 is the best M engine ever.

Co-signed. The best engine of the past 20 years is the best engine of the past 60 years.

GM LS V8

3800 Series II. Lots of horspower (for its day), torque, smoothness, durability, and reliability. Back in the day, full-size cars like the LeSabre were rated at 30mpg highway with it.

Jeep 4.0

The Chevrolet LS series of engines. Horsepower, torque, simplicity, compact V8 format, inexpensive relative to complex OHC engines, and capable of providing respectable fuel economy.

Same people who are buying Navigators now. People without any sense.

I said the same thing in another post. The new Denali/Escalade will absolutely destroy this vehicle in every, single way. I am getting a new Denali after having the current gen now and cannot fathom who would buy this Navigator. I own a Focus ST so it's not that I have anything against Ford.

Nice Explorer. There you go. Lincoln is saved.

Would it be safe to say that Lincoln employs the least creative people on the planet?

Entire dash likely feels like your sitting 18" in front of a wall looking out a window. Doesn't really flow. Might as well be doing dishes at the kitchen sink with a leather back splash. Anyone who gets out of the Escalade or even Yukon Denali and into this would laugh.
