If you never bothered to find out, they arn't hemis by anything but name. And if you really still want to call them hemi's, go ahead and call GM and ford engines hemi's too. Because they all use the same heads in 90% of their engines.

Now I'm not sure about the skittle, but it probably has a pentroof hemi shaped head. Which is a wedge, nothing hemispherical about it.

Ok.. Well Given the choices of the US in Auto Market. These so called "cult" Cars .. The ones that started the crazy of major imports. I feel for DSM.. Like the New Turbo Lancers and Next Gen Eclipse. and to be honest everyone knows these cars are top performers.. But the car turning my head the most is going to be a skittle.. Out of the box fun.. I'd love to drive one and see.. Just why everyone seems to dig em.

Every car maker is trying out do one another by offering something that the other doesnt. Everyone of them have their own goals, so it's rather difficult to say who really is the best car maker. Now, just because some automaker is releasing a full line of new designed cars, it doesnt mean that they are ahead of the game. There's nothing odd about people supporting certain automobile brands. Everyone have their own reasons.

John is pretty much correct up there. Nissan forgot that they used to make rwd 4 cylinder cars. What is a honda? Dodge is smart for discontinuing the sr4. With the price of automobile fuel, i think everyone is struggling to produce vehicles with big output, but very little input.

Did you do any research or are you just repeating incorrect information you heard?
http://www.dodge.com/charger/hemistry.html

And are you saying that Dodge, GM and Ford use the same heads? Good luck swapping the heads off this...


on to this...

The Mazdaspeed6 is going to be a Legacy GT contender, and the Mazdaspeed3 is WRX hunting. The new Miata is growing on me, and the RX8 is a real head turner lacking some balls under hood.

Companies that dropped the ball:
Subaru - Tribeca front end = wtf were you thinking award of the year
Honda - hello? Anybody home? Uninspired pedestrian cars.
Nissan - periodically seems to forget what it's always been best at: light, affordable, fun to drive RWD cars. This is one of those periods.
Toyota: their number has been forwarded to Hondas.
+1 for Subaru, but their new style cars are very controversal.
Also I think Toyota needs to come out with a sports car.
