Not one thought: "hey maybe we should build an even better 3 main boxer."

proved how stupid they got. 10 people want a v8, 10000 need a daily driver sipping on fuel.. not one freakin moron caught on in that business.
ricer inline four is by no means a japanese beetle...if "they" still say so, let it dig an even deeper abyss of its own idiot. :

on a bigger view open markets challenged U.S. soverignty. It has been known to american defenders for 5 decades or more. Stepping up over sympathy and buying lesser, is not good enough...If american product can't eat that and keep a stomach...let it dig a deeper abyss with its own idiot.

its funny, 40 years later and a "what are you doing about it?"...
and it HAS gained the gov't...

Well I got the Pontiacs I wanted, they havent been building much I like lately, but a Solstice looks interesting. They stopped making the good ones in 1979. The 4th gen is a nice ride but they stopped those in 02. Everything GM built between 1980 and 1998 is crap.

seriously Boxer, what is the fascination with 3 mains instead of 5? I'm really curious since you bring it up in nearly every post you make.....
