Actually, I should say "our" future, but I'm still sort of in sullen old-guy denial about the boxy four-cylinder world that awaits us a place where mousy little motors will zing and zing with all the punch of a kitchen blender.

Don't get me wrong. I've learned to like some of these half-engines. But I'm feeling a little anxious because I strongly suspect that by 2010, 18 months from now, my beloved blue-collar V-8 engines will be all but dead struck down in their prime by misguided fuel-efficiency standards and $4-a-gallon gas. Thunder Road becomes Wuffle Way.

Nonetheless, being the modern new-age guy that I am, I figure it's time to bravely confront the four-cylinder reality bearing down on us at moderate speed with commendable economy.
