Is that to "F them in the A"?

I feel this comment is getting downvoted, not because it is wrong, but because it is crude. I actually hope Tesla "Fs them in the A", because the entire industry has sat on its laurels for pretty much 20 years. Instead of innovating, they have been, essentially, polishing a turd.

In North America, yes. The rest of the automotive industry has been advancing a lot.

I love that BMW get the same power/torque from a 3.0 liter engine as Ford/GM do out of a 6+ liter engine.

Are you comparing a naturally aspirated engine with a turbo-charged engine? Also, I don't think it's fair to compare truck/utility engines (which generally run on regular gas) with the engines that go into BMW's highest performance cars.

And, the 2.7 liter V6 which is going into the new F-150 supposedly makes 325hp.

no, both N/A engines.

You're comparing a 2015 engine to engines Europe have had for 20+ years.

Yes, in recent years the North American manufacturers have caught up a little.. see the newer Ford V8, Jeep with VVT, etc. etc.

2015 Mustang 2.3L 4-cylinder has ~330 hp.
