I'd prefer an engine showing signs of having been designed in the last 20 years... specific power outputs in the 40 - 50 KW/Litre range are so 80's - means you'll get LAME fuel economy to match the Lame specific power output.

3.8 L should be pumping out at LEAST 60 KW/Litre - then you'd see some decent economy out of the petrol motor and a mass of torque to go with it, any new car using more than 12L/100 highway combined needs some serious help. At least the 2.8 L Common rail is a euro 3/4 (not sure which) grade motor.
