I drive a V8, so no I don't vote Green
We've had two of the coldest winters on record recently 09/10 and 10/11.
We need more big engined cars to warm the place up a bit!
None of this 3 cylinder crap.

So I take it none of us vote for the Green party then?
That man with big eyebrows and a fishy name like "salmon" says its "Scotlands's oil" so we better do what we're told and use it or the country will go broke!! If anyone here owns a motorcycle and it has more than 30,000 miles on the clock it is near worthless because the smaller capacity highly tuned engines (without forced induction ) are deemed to be past their best by that point. Most of the group (including ourselves) have highly cherished motor cars which are over 5 years old and beyond the remit of manufacturers to consider goodwill claims for chronic engine failure in the future so it looks like another step towards a throw away society. I wonder which car manufacturer will start stamping all the components with the recycling codes to tell us which skip to put them in when the time comes.

Yip agree also, just think how awful a 1.0 Corsa 3cylinder with a crappy chaved up exhaust sounds!? Is that what an M car is going to sound like in the future!? If so I'm off to Audi, they still make a nice V8! :))

Nah, I'm interested to hear what others think about lumpy 3 pot engines with hairdryers!

IMHO, the E30 M3 doesn't have enough cylinders. End of discussion!

A 3 cylinder engine will also sound dreadfull.
Think how awful a 3 cylinder motorbike engine sounds. A 4 pot DIEsel engine almost sounds better.

Quite agree.
I'm old skool but not an old fart.
I want cubes in my engines not turbos.
I want big V8s, V10s V12 etc. I don't want some lumpy 2.0 four pot with three turbos or whatever to give the performance of my 4.4 V8.
Turbo charging within an inch of the engines life will not give a smooth revving engine. You need 6, 8 or more cylinders to give the smooth running which is what I want in an engine. An engine running at higher pressures due to charging or tunning etc can only be more unreliable. A relatively unstressed normally aspirated 6pot or V8 engines will be much more reliable.
Mibbie a supercharged V8 purely for the sound of it.
