For the 2016 Model Year only, I need you to find me the following:
One naturally-aspirated, gasoline Mercedes-Benz
One naturally-aspirated, gasoline BMW
One naturally-aspirated, gasoline Audi
One Infiniti without a 3.7L V6
One Volvo with more than 4 cylinders.
One Mazda with more than 4 cylinders.
One Subaru with more than 4 cylinders.
One Mitsubishi with more than 4 cylinders.
No wild goose chances here, so don’t worry, and I did try to keep this pretty easy. Feel free to cry afterwards.

Something you can’t win. You don’t chase a goose, a goose chases you! (This is according to what I have learned from Duck, Duck, Goose ).

Very nice! If you want bonus points, there are alternate model options for Mercedes, Volvo, and Subaru.

I was so depressed reading through all the BMW engine options. There’s really nothing else in the US without a turbo.
Subaru Legacy is also available with the 3.6 liter. The GLE350 has the same engine as the E350. The XC60 is still available with a 5 or 6.

lol, sorry. I had worst things in mind, so comparatively speaking...
You may want to check the Maybach, Mercedes (I thought) was using the bi-turbo V12 only for all markets. In the US, the S80 only comes as a 4cyl T5 Drive-E variant for the 2016 MY.

I know, the BMW and Audi got me. Mercedes will be completely out of NA engines once the E350 and GLE350 are dropped and the SLK is switched to the SLC. Pretty much everything you found is unlikely to be around this time next year.

Then Sprinter for the Mercedes. And, stretching the rules a bit, the Volvo VNL780

BMW 116i has a turbo 3 cylinder nowadays.

Wikipedia lied to me then.

Awesome, you win Oppo Party Points just for that!

If so, change the 118i to an i3

Ha. Can’t believe this PoS is a 2016.

I can’t either! Mitsubishi is rumored to be going hybrid-SUVs and standard AWD sedans in the future. Should be interesting.

Wikipedia is using old information. The F20/F21 1-series received new engines earlier this year when it got the facelift. The NA 4 cylinder in the 116i was replaced by a turbo i3.
