Is it a deal breaker to the point I have to whine about it on the internet? Not for a second.

So you're not a whiner then? But you are whining about the whining?

I have to disagree with you on that one...
Jaguar XJ220 was a TTV6, was the fastest car in the world for a year and held the fastest lap at the Nürburgring for 8 years.

Most of the original buyers got their deposits back when they found out the car wouldn't have the V12 they were promised.

Porsche seems to like Turbo 6s, just a different shape...

Apple meet orange.


Audi's S4 started a TTv6, went v8 and is back to S/C'd V6 (my uneducated guess is it will go back to turbos with the new current gen)

A very low volume car that wasn't worth its own engine. Much easier to just put a blower on the high volume passenger car V6.


Audi R18 Le Mans Race Car is a V6T

Class rules in socialist Europe.

Caddys and its rumored that Camaros are now
rocking TTV6s

We dealing with rumors or facts here?

Which Caddy? Certainly not one of the interesting ones.

GTR... No slouch.

And?

300ZX Turbo
Dodge Stealth RT

Discontinued cars that never achieved any real sales success. You skipped the 3000GT VR4, btw.

I could go on...

When did you begin?

Trucks are quite a bit more limited...
GMC Cyclone

Just a bit? You skipped the Typhoon, btw.

And the reason is older, especially N/A, V6s just don't have the torque necessary for all the weight.

That's not the only reason.

"Overall, the share of $50,000 and up pickup trucks sold in the U.S. has more than doubled in the last five years, climbing from 9% in 2010 to 22% this year [2015], according to car-pricing research firm Kelley Blue Book."

22% is far from "extremely limited".

Are those figures inflation adjusted?

Plus, first you said "luxury trucks" then you said "trucks over $50k". That's not the same thing. How many 2 & 3 series trucks are included in that increase?

but there will not be a production J-arm kit for the Gen 1.

This is a huge disappointment. I was really interested in that setup.

Luckily SVC has a that sweet 4 link setup in the works for us :)

I'll be running deavers, Rogue's bump stop kit, and Rogue's trac bars until then.

No, no and no to diesel!

V8 gas please!

Well I figured I'd throw the diesel thought out as an olive branch. Might be someone out there that wants to work their Raptor like a Clydesdale.

Actually I'm lost at where the diesel adds value in the F150 line up. The ecoboost has similar power delivery. The diesel should get better mpg but other then that?? Rollin coal *******!!!
