The old phrase of "there is no replacement for displacement" carries a lot of weight with many people, and the fallacy of it seems to go unmentioned. Obviously, there is some truth to the phrase, but it's not always a night and day difference - like people may want to believe.
I guess people don't want to accept that 4 cylinder engines can be (and have been) built that chew up V8s and spit them out.
