Glad to see that the Canadian market version gets a V4! Which may or may not be factually incorrect. Either way, I dig it.

That old N/A 2.5L V6 they replaced with the 2.0L turbo I4 might as well have been a V4.

It’s correct. That’s a Turbo.

Why aren’t there more V4's, anyways? I’d think the manufacturers would love it for packaging - but it’s probably an NVH nightmare?

TL;DR: complexity and refinement versus an Inline-4. And actually packaging would be a nightmare in traverse layouts.

I should let my Dad know, he hasn’t owned a V4 since the 70s!
