@^^^^^^

These awards are a wank!

As leading engine [read complex] yes the Aussie engines won’t win a thing, BUT a better high torque donk aka low-down-grunt, effortless power and low running costs [both with fuel use and maintaince] together with low manufacture cost, the Falcodore engines CANNOT be beat, they are the real WORLD Chamions for the price/performance ratio, and by MILES

In YOUR mind maybe!!

My mechanic friend has paid for all his first class holidays, 2nd floor extensions, private college fees and other thanks to working on vw’s “VW being the best car company bar none”

Its quality [lack of] is also about the leader……FROM THE WRONG END!! lol

Got to big to fast and the quilty suffered and still does

I laugh every time I see the commercial where Holden’s marketers say SIDI is the biggest thing to ever happen in the history of the Commodore! You have got to hand it to Holden’s marketers… I would say the VE in general when it was first released and it’s improvement over the VZ was a MUCH bigger leap, or when they achieved a 5 star crash rating, or fitted DSC/TC/ABS/Airbags etc no matter how primitive they were in their eary stages. These are only just a few. IMHO there have been many larger events/improvements in the history of the Commodore than fitting direct injection.

Unfortunatly joe/josephine average/bogan believes Holden’s marketing spin and blindly follows whatever they say because “Holden means a great deal to Australia” etc etc etc. Holden’s marketers would have to be the best in the Australian Automotive industry.

From an engineering perspective, Australian and American engines have no relevance in current development trends in any how.

Umm. No. that would be Subaru’s EJ series engines. Which BTW actually won.

Aussie cars line up like holden and fords are boganistic and people will continue to think that they are. It’s just the way it is…

I was going to post on the same thing you just bought up then about the Fiat MultiAir engine, its the biggest leap in engine technology since direct injection.

Overall, these engine of the year awards don’t have that much credibility. The International engine of the Year is a perfect proof of that. When I first heard about the TSI engine made by VW, I instantly thought that this has to win engine of the year. What happened instead was it didn’t, infact it was only a winner in its class, and only after 4 years after release, it was finally recognised and won the top award, even though it shouldn’t have. The MultiAir was out when this years results was released and wasn’t even recognised.

These awards are pretty irrelevant

SIDI, lol, what a breakthough, bah, lol.

Direct Injection has been used since WWII by the German’s, and used in mass production car engines for more than 15 years, including Volkswagen since 2000.

Well done VAG!
