Land Rover Defender. It’s too new so I don’t know what common failures it will have. The new inline 6 mild hybrid scares me the most. At least the old supercharged V6 has years to work out all the kinks and find the known issues.

V8s will still be around. Unfortunately they are going to be the realm of 100k cars at that point =(.

My impossible dream: this engine shows up in a refreshed Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio. Preferably in a trim that sits between the Quadrifoglio and the base 2.0L 4 cylinder engine. Not sure if they are still pushing for Alfa Romeo to be all electric by 2025/2026.

Absolutely. When I saw they removed the 6 cylinder in the refreshes for the XE and XF, I just lost interest in them. I dont think they will update the XF or XE any further. The reboot is slated for 2025 and in like two months it will already be 2024.
