Who said GM engines are great? Is this some tactic of yours, changing
the subject when the argument doesn't go your way? I never said GM
engines were great, I said they make 90-degree V6 engines. Period.

Prove it. The #1 and #2 auto manufacturers in the world (GM and Ford)
make predominantly 90-degree V6es.

Again, don't change the subject. I never said that 90-degree V6es were
"in vogue". I said that more of them are made than 60-degree. Period.
Quit changing the subject.
