You sure about that Charles? Check the world markets and you'll find the Tritec Pentagon engine in Neon 1.6L and PT Cruiser 1.6L cars in Europe, South Africa and elsewhere. In places where gas is more expensive even than Canada, 1.6L is a fairly large engine, believe it or not, and the Pentagon has excellent HP/L performance, low emissions and good gas mileage.
