What does your engine say about you?

3-Cylinder

You're just driving around in your little, fuel-efficient city car, not being a bother to anyone on the road.

-

4-Cylinder

You're either a non-car person minding your own business, or a douchey Civic driver everyone hates because you always talk about your engine, no matter how uninteresting it is.

-

5-Cylinder

You know how to service your car and are generally less of a douche. Also, you drive an Audi.

-

6-Cylinder

You don't have a 4-cylinder engine, so you're keen to show off how powerful your big and mighty Accord V6 is.
VROOOOoOOOoOoOooOoOOOOMM!!!

-

8-Cylinder

You drive a muscle car. You're either a decent human being who loves muscle cars of all types and conversing with others, or you're that douche in the V8 Mustang who tried to race me at the light.
Or you're a Florida retiree.

-

10-Cylinder

You actually appreciate your car and the engine it has. Although you probably don't know how to service your car, you have a good sense of engineering, good enough to take an interest in what engine your car has.

-

12-Cylinder

You snagged a deal on that Jaguar XJS on craigslist and now you can't stop boasting about how big the engine in your car is.

-

16-Cylinder

You don't even know what an "engine" is.

What about different types of these engines? Like a flat 4/6 or a I-4/6? Or are these just basically the same?

TheHondaBro > norskracer98-ExploringTheOutback 11/01/2014 at 12:41

Well that's why I titled them with "x-Cylinder", so I could generalize them.

The V8 section needs an addendum for slow cruisers like mine.

Or a Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon, Hummer H3, buncha Volvos....

Really? Didn't know those GMCs had I5's.

Yup! Basically an I6 Atlas out of a trailblazer with a cylinder lobbed off.

Although...

In all honesty some very, very interesting engines have been 4 cyl. Highest HP/ L (NA), also... I resemble this remark...

And aren't most 5 cyl (On a per sold basis) actually BMWs?

Well I was going off the Audi thing because we used to have a VW Eurovan with a 5-cyl Audi engine, and around those times, Audi basically supplied engines for a whole bunch of cars that weren't Audis..
BMW might be selling more, though.

Need to differentiate v6 from i6

Which is awesome!

Because it can, and was put in an airplane. :)

Actually...

You are correct. I thought they had done it, but some fact checking and: must be something in the coffee.

AthomSfere > TheHondaBro 11/01/2014 at 15:22

Fact checked, I confused something. BMW has never made an i5 engine. Everything other configuration though it seems.

Yep... I goofed that one! Sorry.

So you can see my miss (At least partially) i3, i4, i6... boxer twin, even radial engines. So few things they haven't done at least once...

But, I failed Oppo today...

I really want a car with a flat 8

No, that' stupid. Flat 12 all the things!! :D

Will yeah that's what I really want, but I know it's not gonna happen. But maybe a flat eight could happen for us.

I wonder what a flat 10 would sound like

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > Manuél Ferrari 11/01/2014 at 15:47

*Sound of flat 10*

American edition.

3 Cylinder - What is that, like, a dirt bike?

4 Cylinder - You got something lame, cheap and socialist. Or a new Impala because those come with fours now.

5 Cylinder:

6 Cylinder - Basic transportation. Y'know, Trailhawk Cherokee, Traverse, Explorer, something small and basic. Single 20-something commuter.

8 Cylinder - You bought something to be proud of. Maybe a new Tahoe or Camaro, or maybe even an Escalade or Corvette

10 Cylinder -

12 Cylinder - Wait, what?

16 Cylinder -
