you really should drive one with a bit of modern technology thrown in, It will change your mind. Smooth, reliable, quiet, -until about 2500 rpm
Torque monsters
the fact that the engine is made in Japan does not make it second rate, look up the spec's of the V12, Porsche never built a V8 engine that good.
