I think that the 20 valve I-5 is the ultimate development of that engine, 
and it is long overdue for replacement.  My 10 valve turbo is a 
dog of an engine, to be really honest.  Sure, it's strong, and unique, 
but uniqueness at the expense of sound engineering is dumb in my opinion.  
I much prefer a 6, 8, or 12 cylinder engine.
