now now i thought the same untill i took a look under the hood of my friends ford ranger. i was giving him the same speech about how there is no v4 untill ilooked at the engine block
4cil v formation
There's no reason why it isn't possible. Its a nice and compact configuration. But I'm guessing its more expensive to manufacture. Seeing as a 2.0 straight 4 isn't all that huge most car manufacturers don't bother. I believe there are quite a few motorcycles with V4 engines though, even V2!
Guess nobody saw my post.
THEY MAKE V4's FOR BOATS, OUTBOARD ENGINES, AND MOTORCYCLES

A boxer is different again. It is often referred to as a flat engine. They sound awesome

I know what a boxer is.
An Impreza engine sounds so nice.
The Alfa boxer engine was pretty poor though, compared to their TwinSpark inline.

Sorry, I see no V4. Just I4. Mind taking a picture?
I saw your original post. Guess I should have been more clear about no V4s (in automobiles)
.
My .02. Correct me if I'm wrong but I could swear that older Saab's had a V4. Sorry I can't come up with the year but they were very early examples, maybe 60 or 70's models. Additionally, if memory serves, they were two strokes as I remember adding oil to the fuel.
I think I deserve a "cookie" for that
Cheerssad, not a single picture on this page...
thought i would fix that.
Nice Integra. Where was the pic taken? Ahhh Sawtooths? Familiar with the name but can't place the area........out west obviously Idaho????? Pretty area, thanks for sharing. Cheers
What's it like? Is it amazing... Oh i bet it is? Is it a manual? How does it sound, accelerate, feel when driving? Oh is the leather nice? oh man... Do you have the xenon headlights? do you plan on doing anything to it like exhaust?
You have no idea how jealous I am....

Some of the older SAABs (95s and 96s) had a V4 which they called a V8/2
I'm not sure, I think it was another engine cut in half, hence the /2, but I can't remember what it came from.
Stanley, Idaho. Sawtooth Mountains.
Wish I could be there now, but it is all under feet of snow...
Who needs that much power?! 75 here.
1976 BMW 1502
Hi fellow forum '02er! I've got a 1974 2002 myself... currently "in storage" because I fried the starter and it needs a head job. Some time this spring I will get it in working order again and it will be an occasional driver for around the town.
Otherwise I drive an '07 Prius. A damn fine car if you ask my opinion. Beyond the hybrid-hype, it is a well appointed, comfortable, quiet car with Toyota quality and reliability. Well worth the money.
How about that Chevy Volt? Giving you 150 MPG using E85 and roughly 525 MPG using regular gas. Beat that Toyota!
525 miles per gallon? right..................................................
So on a full tank you could o from NY to SF?
What can you expect? He's quagmire.
It's pretty obvious you guys don't get how the Volt works then. The engine doesn't power the car. Electric motors does. That is powered by batteries that can last about 40 miles. Then the ICE turns on and turns a generator continuing to power the vehicle and recharges the battery. The ICE never powers the wheels. Then when you go home, can plug it into your outlet to continue to recharge it. I am only quoting what GM said. So I am not just making the numbers up. It's hypothetical of course, but if you drive those distances it is technically what you would get.

But aren't there many concepts that claim unbelievable mpg? I'll believe it once I see it in the showroom.
