Love me a straight-six. Why anyone thought "inline" was a better prefix, I have no idea. Smooth, and sound great.

- givemeethekeys 7mo agoIt's a German thing.
- ahartmetz 7mo agoI think we simply call them "Sechszylinder" - six cylinders. Non-inline engines are a small percentage of engines in Germany, so we don't usually call inlines anything. The term for an inline engine is Reihenmotor (I had to look that up!), "line" or "row" engine.
- givemeethekeys 7mo agoNo kidding? Most of the reliable German gasoline engines I know of are "inline" engines, but I am based in the US.
- sejje 7mo agoI have two; I don't think they sound great. My F150s sound like tractors. Drive like one, too--you never have to go over 2,000 rpms if you don't care to, even pulling a load. Max torque around 1800 RPMs IIRC.
