A New Name on the Rostrum
A new name was added this year to the select list of only 11 manufacturers that have won awards in the Engine of the Year competition since it was launched in 1999: Japanese carmaker Subaru has won its first-ever IEOTY trophy in the 2.0-liter to 2.5-liter class with the new 2.5-liter turbo that powers the 2006 Impreza WRX, among others.
Subaru's excellent turbocharged "flat-four" or "boxer" engine narrowly edged out a multiple winner in this category: BMW's ever-improving 2.5-liter inline six-cylinder engine. Their respective scores were 155 and 153 points.
The list of winning manufacturers, since the IEOTY's inception, is headed by BMW, with a total of 31 awards, followed by Honda with 22, Toyota with 15, while Volkswagen now has 11 awards to its credit.
А вы его ругаете.
