Cool!
6's are super strong especially for turbo.

I wonder if this is going to be a new inline 6 design as opposed to the existing slant.
Inherently smoother than a V-6 or V-8 as well, the reason for BMW sticking with them
They quit making slants and picked up the AMC 6's when they bought Jeep. This will be new I would imagine. No reason to retrofit a 50 year old design.
There is no existing slant. The last slant six was made in 1987.

They should make it slant for hood clearance and you can not kill the slant six

Actually 1991, for marine and industrial applications. Replacement engines were built in Mexico up until 2000

I know I'm right....
If they want a slant, just lean the Jeep 6 over, New oil pan and manifold angles. Audi 5 cylinders were crazy, dont know why they went with 5 when 6 was a 'natural'? length?

Slantys can poke a rod out the side pretty quick so not indestructible. But if you be nice to them then they just wear the rings out and burn the valves. You know, that 4.25 stroke is a lotta up and down.
Having owned a 4.0 for years, I have mulled that over countless times.
