I agree.
PS: Beginning 2012, BMW has moved away from the I6 for its 3-series opting instead for a lighter, more efficient but just as potent I4. The Germans aren't dumb.
maniac,
I predict their sales will drop a bunch with that 2L 4 cylinder. We recently bought a BMW Z4 35i twin turbo I-6 6-speed and we would NOT even consider the 28i 4Cyl model. It's has 100 fewer HP and a miserable noise when it's stressed. Another drawback, it ONLY comes with the automatic transmission, no 6-speed option.
Government Motors has to keep the V8 in the Corvette. It can be downsized if needed to meet some arbitrary epa(idiot) number but twin/triple turbos or a properly sized supercharger would be mandatory.
