406 with engine change

[Ronald G. Stephenson]

That may be true, in that development can improve upon a design that goes back a number of years. Take the Porsche engine, please! An excellent example of the bumblebee approach to making a potent machine. Others have succeeded in making silk purses out of a sow's ear, but that does not make it a good approach. The Mazda/Wankle is another sterling example of what stubborness can do. If you want to see a brilliant six cylinder design, you need look no further than any BMW so equiped, and there are thousands of examples that hardly ever self-destruct. Tried and true is not a bad concept. Having had more than one man's share of what is out there, I believe I have a fairly good idea of what's what when it comes to cars.
