GM, Ford, all the Euro & Japanese based builders would be bashing on

There are a few things against 2DFI motors in cars:

- You would NOT survive ANY doubt about their reliability

- The general automotive crowd does not take as much abuse as boaters
do and the automotive crowd seems to be better with class action
lawsuits.

- You do not have endless amounts of cold water to cool any heat issue

- You wouldnt even get the motor close to passing any sort of emission
law

If people see a need to turn on me for that - then by all means turn
on
me.



The Audi A4 and A6 2006 models are using a lean burn stratified engine with
direct injection that they call FSI. You can find the road test from Car and
