I saw a commercial last night for the new scion. They're claiming to be the worlds first horizontally opposed 4 cylinder boxer motor?! I'd say a little late. Any thoughts or opinions on, if and when folks will be dropping these in the back of their vans?

Not well suited for use in a vanagon and many new adaptation parts would be needed for an engine that delivers power at hi RPM.

Car commercial trickery... "Worlds first horizontally opposed 4 cylinder boxer motor........... with D4S direct and port fuel injection technology" Its all about the pause. Evil or Very Mad
