Well when you are only getting around 30bhp / L from your engines you don't really need a manual do you?

- taneq 10y agoI think times have changed somewhat since squishy 6.7L V8s that made 180hp and got you 5km/L. :P
- ldev 10y agoYeah, american car engineering is mind blowing. I have a 2008 Lexus IS350 - 3.5 liters V6, naturally aspirated and it produces 306 bhp. Friend has 2008 Ford Mustang - 4 liters V6, and it makes 210 bhp. What the hell.
- kbart 10y agoIsn't Lexus a Japanese car company?
- nommm-nommm 10y agoLexus is Toyota's luxury division. So, yes.
- mywittyname 10y agoThe Cologne V6 was a truck engine designed in the 1960s with a 5500rpm redline. Which are all good reasons why it made no power. The reason it was used in the Mustang after so many years was for cost/marketing reasons that had little to do with engineering. If your friend instead had a 2011+ Mustang V6, it would have a modern(ish) engine making 305hp out of 3.7L on 87 octane, where the 2GR in the IS350 needs premium gas to make 306hp.
- kylec 10y agoI'm assuming that's a dig against American cars, but most European and Asian cars sold here are also automatics.
