So......Fortune 100 car companies couldn't build or design a motor to compete with Esslinger in either price or performance and now Esslinger which offers competitive Engine packages in different price levels is now penalized?

I know that Ford is involved with Esslinger today, but I don't see it being that big of help.

The bottom line is the best product won.....the rest is sour grapes and ********.

We just saw a rule put in place to protect what is essentially dead technology and outdated engine platforms.

I don't want anyone to think I am pissed or whatever because it doesn't affect my pocket book, it just perplexes me the way we approach problems today. We want others to be pulled back instead of finding a better way. Why doesn't Chevy,Toyota and Mopar build a motor along the lines of the Esslinger?

As far as cost goes....I don't know what to tell you. If someone out there can build a motor that can beat these at a lower price, then they should. It is a heck of an undertaking to build a motor like these and even someone like Sesco charges around $25,000 for a new motor because that is what it costs.
