The VQ has been a top 10 engine for like 14 years (1995-2008). LSx (1 in this case) was only from 1998-1999. ([Link](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ward%27s_10_Best_Engines)) It’s not made to run 700hp or whatever people who do swaps want to push their motors to. That’s probably why they use LS’s. But for an engine in stock form, it doesn’t get any better than a Nissan engine. EDIT: I have seen 4th gen Maximas (my gen) running 11’s and 12’s on a VQ block and being NA (swapped VQ30DE for a VQ35DE (02+ motor) or VQ30DE for a VQ30DEK (2000-2001 motor). I’ve seen cars in the 450-500 range on a VQ block (stock I’m 190). The weak part in Nissans is the trannys. Hell, I drove a SC’ed Maxima with a 3.5 swapped in an the auto swapped out for a 5spd and that thing dyno’ed at like 390 or something ridiculous. I was like a kid in the candy store (took the car to the parts store to buy hoses while the owner was working on my car).

I drove in a Z06 Corvette and loved the experience. The Ford Edge (that midsize crossover) is one attractive vehicle. American trucks are great. Everything else? Is a big POS. Infiniti, Acura, Lexus, BMW, Mercedes, etc. are on a whole different level compared to Lincoln, Ford, Chevy, etc. Don’t even argue it. No one needs your biased fan boy point of view. I’m not biased, I’m just calling it as I see it. European and Japanese CARS are way above American cars when it comes to comfort and quality. Would you rather have 360hp and a plastic POS or a 340hp and a car as luxurious as they get at the same time? I’d pick the latter. Spend 45k on a POS Ford that has 350hp or spend 35k on a slightly used M45x that has 340hp and that retails for 65k brand new but due the economy is cheap right now and has more features than you can shake a stick at (intelligent cruise control, brake assist, speakers behind your ears on the seats, cooled seats, etc. etc.). No brainer for me. ---

Cool concept, won’t work too well in practice because unfortunately it lies in a very competitive market without any serious advantages. It’s comparable to a Bmw 335xi, which is also AWD, Turbo, 4dr, but has a badge that can actually justify going into debt for. ---
