Forget?

Hey is it just me or has everyone forgotten that American Car Companies have always had better performing cars than most Keyword MOST cars from other countries.

I mean honda and all of them had to have known it was only a matter of time before the american companies focused on 4 cylinders too.

While Chevy MOPAR ect. were making muscle cars Honda and friends were making 4 cyl. Now that American companies are giving an effort at 4cyl performance

I think we will see the scale even out a bit.

You know how we have the Gas Guzzler tax here in America? Well I am pretty sure that in Japan they have a tax based on the size of the engine.

Now you know why the Japanese always focus on small displacement and resort to technology to make HP instead of engine size.
