Hey, we use grams and kilos for...other things too.
It is funny how we're schizophrenic about it, though. Things will go from grams to ounces and then to kilos...or, so I've heard.
Edit: American cars are also kind of schizo like that, or at least they used to be. The engine and everything attached to it was metric and everything else was SAE. Fun times.
That's because a lot of American cars were/are using engines made by European or Asian subsidiaries while most of the rest of the car is produced domestically.
Sounds like they wanted engines that work.
So about anything but European.
Nothing wrong with German or French engines, but I admit British and Italian engines aren't the greatest for not breaking down.
Volkswagen engines are pretty good at breaking down, imo. I will say there have been a fair amount of good bmw engines.
I've owned a few Volkswagens and yes when they are over 12:years old they start having issues, before that they never ever let me down.
Meanwhile my 18 year old Prius is still kicking ass at 273,000 miles. Gen 2 Prius is OP. Gen 3 fucked up.
