ok. But here is what i do not understand:

Note that Germany, based on my research, has the worlds best hiway system called an AUtobahn. An Autobahn that seems to exceed the US Interstate system. Maybe exceeeds the US by a great percentage. **** With UNlimited speed limit!!!! ****.

THen why would Germans want 4 cylinder engines ????
HEre in the US, to the best of my knowledge there are NO roads with legal speed limit over 75 mph. I sure wish i could run 100-120 mph legaly like the Germans can. A 4 cylinder just won't cut it. Most production 6 cylinders won't be sufficient either unless we start talking Jag or very expensive hi-performance 6 cylinders.

Or, let me pose the question another way:
Do most Germans drive the Autobahn rarely exceeding 70 mph???
