All that I can say is that hopefully, these little four cylinder engines stay where they belong....in Hyundais, Mitsus, Dodges, and Chryslers.

Oh, and here is Dodge's answer to the modern-day American Musclecar. A Neon that will do 0-60 in 5.9 seconds, top out at 148 mph, and cost under $20,000. And they're building it.

I hate to say it, but in maybe five or six years, one of these could be pretty beguiling....if it still ran.
