While the world moves more and more towards an eco-friendly future, certain aspects of the automotive industry suffer. As emission restrictions tighten and Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) metrics become harder and harder for manufacturers to meet, engine sizes are becoming smaller in order to meet those goals. That's why we've seen so many six-cylinder engines drop to four-pots, while V8s have been downgraded (or upgraded depending on where you stand) to twin-turbocharged sixes.

Toyota's Most Powerful 4-Cylinder Engine

If you have a basic understanding of how a turbocharged engine like the 2023 Toyota GR Corolla's souped-up three-cylinder works, it's not hard to figure out that they pose reliability issues you won't get with a naturally aspirated engine. Before we get into the higher heat and pressure that comes with turbocharging, the bottom line is there are more moving parts, meaning there's more stuff that can break.

One Dunkin’ Donuts location, known for its familiar aroma of coffee and donuts, found itself temporarily closed after a state inspection uncovered a few issues. Not all Dunkin’ locations are created equal. Take the one at 3745 Pleasant Hill Road in Kissimmee, for instance.

Despite the continued development and innovation of combustion engine technology, there will never be anything that can replace the original winning recipe: the naturally aspirated engine. In 2024, we live in a turbocharged and hybrid reality, where the naturally aspirated engine is a dying breed even among specialty manufacturers. What was once a V-8 is now a V-6 with turbos and if you thought inline-fours would forever be the smallest engines on the market, we now have inline-threes making 300 horsepower.

Ever since the Toyota GR Supra first appeared five years ago, there’s been one fact that’s been used to consistently criticise it: “Oh, it’s just a BMW.” That’s despite the facts that a) it was never going to get a 2JZ because that engine’s been out of production for nearly 20 years, b) there would have been no economic case for the Z4 and Supra to exist at all without them being twins, and c) since when has a rear-wheel drive sports car with a BMW straight-six been a bad thing?
