Straight 8's cool-flatheads in Pontiacs, overhead valves n Buicks.

The whole point of an I6, IMO, is the perfect primary and secondary balance of 
the design, something shared with V-12s and 90° V-Twins. Nothing else is like 
being able to set a coin on top of a running engine and having it stay put.

That is nothing but positive.  Now if they could manage to fire some bow 
ties and hire some good German engineers, and go back to the DIN in 
place of that awful ISO, things would improve in MB land.
