Unless they are a lot more heavier then toyota and honda. Otherwise it seems both jap company won on Fuel efficiency in terms of cars MPG wise ( not Engine MPG wise ) normaluser, i dont know if VW if fuel effieciency is far more superior, becoz VW's car dont seems to have higher MPG.

not like road car, which require flexibiliy torquey economy and reevy high hp sporting drive,

if u are on the race, i mean RACE , if your car moded to high end biased, the car 16 valve with racing cam could outrun the type R (with vvt),

Actually European countries Diesel engine i can say is the best compare to Japan.. Maybe their fuel quality is more better Euro 4. I think the best Japaneses car can get is the hybrid system.. But is dammed expensive compare to Diesel powered engine.. So i vote for the European Technology.. Even Direct injection is invented by the germans not the japs.. If i not mistaken by Bosch? And maybe u think VTEC is the best in Honda Japan.. but really this technology has been used by ferrari, BMW, Alfa, Fiat and F1 cars a long time ago.. You can check here.. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VVT" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VVT</a> (Vtec is modified from VVT) Actually is the Europeans who invented the VVT system.. Which is the Fiat at 1960.. I dont think Toyota use VVT system at that time until 90's in silver top 20v levin..

a lorry made in europe will last you 75 percent more mileage than a jap lorry…. fact1!!!

Its the japanese who should work harder to produce a better & efficient engine to rival the europeans. But nevertheless, the jap won on reliability. ksec, i think VW's engines fuel effieciency is far more superior than that of Toyota & Honda.

well thats mean 'efficiency taken into consideration' in f1 .

for normal car nowadays, turbo really to be taken seriously towards engine flexibility and efficiency is good move,

sigle turbo, cheaper application,

but twin carger is so ideal for this purpose with wider mode of drivebility ,

Now they need to work on improving fuel efficiency to rival Toyota or Honda. And may be improving their Car design. ( I dont have problem with Audi, but VW's one look bulky ) I love VW's Tech, small displacement engine with DSG.
