Talk:Tritec engine

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi Sfoskett,

I regret to report that I have just marked this article as an {auto-stub} because I strongly feel that there is a confusion in naming. I wonder why you called an engine Chrysler Mini for the only reason it is used for propelling Mini cars (owned by BMW)? I think the right way to mention engines is the way the manufacturer call them such as Chrysler HEMI, and never e.g. "Chrysler LeBaron engine" for the only reason that an engine is used iin a particular model of car.

It was developed for tiny (mini) cars and is referred to as the Mini engine colloquially among Mopar fans. I'd prefer a more precise name, but do not know of one! Also, some engines (like the Ford Pinto engine) really are named after the car they were designed for...--SFoskett 03:18, Aug 25, 2004 (UTC)

I found it's "right" name - Tritec! --SFoskett 01:05, Dec 22, 2004 (UTC)
