International Engine of the Year - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Uh, okay. Those all-expenses-paid press events serve a purpose.

The Prince engine has won the award every year since 2007.

 

Awards are nice lets see how long the motors last.

 

Oh how True ^^^^ and that's exactly how Motoring File has stays on-line, they joined BMW / MINI Propaganda PR bandwagon long ago. :nonod:

 

Kinda like a politician congraulateing themselves for a job well done....
Sad thing is....they say it over and over... And folks forget the truth.....kinda like brainwashing.....they make headlines that nobody fact checks... And suddenly it is "news" so it must be true.....

 

What's the walnut-blasting-per-km metrics? I suspect that was a highly weighted factor.

 

Absolutely a "nutty" explanation!!
IMO it is not the motor with the most "bells and whistles" that should win...but the one that implements them in the best way for the end user....
And judging by the issues of the prince motors....they met the needs of BMW/mini...they made customers retum to the dealer to buy "value added" services and (when the repair was a new motor) got many folks to trade in for a new car!! All they had to do was fiance an shortage on the loan...and put off the day of true reckoning..er wrecking..lol..

 

My Prince engined MINI has been trouble free, still ticking over like the little gem that it is.

 

We'll you just jinxed that. :eek6:
