While I understand people…
While I understand people are upset about the shift in automotive trends, I feel like there is a misconception when it comes to 4-cylinder engines - especially those with forced induction. For a properly engineered and tuned v4, long gone are the days of smashing the accelerator to the floor. Power to weight ratio is also a huge factor. The new iforce motor is quite impressive, and quite smooth in terms of power delivery. I can make a direct comparison to Toyota's v6 as well as I've driven both. Long term durability of course is something to be seen but these 4 cylinder turbo motors are nothing new so I don't expect (barring poor manufacturing) any issues. I would implore folks to be a little more open minded and try before you make a judgment. It's not likely the auto industry is going to revert anyhow.
