I’d love if someone could clue us in about why manufacturers view less cylinders but larger displacement is better than more cylinders but smaller displacement. A small, high-revving V8 like the old F1 V8s would be so cool. I suspect the main reasons are complexity and powerband.
Is it bad to want to be different from everyone else? I was offered a premium 6MT in Halo White but I turned it down because I wanted the flashiness of Neptune Blue. I waited an extra four months for it, but it was so worth it when I look over my office’s parking lot and see my speck of bright blue in a mass of silver, gray, and black.
The fact that a Tacoma of all trucks is making stu-tu-tu noises stock is absolutely nuts. I love it.
