Auto Classified Mistake

I got a chuckle from this ad, maybe you'll smile as well. I'm usually not this bored ...

Haven't ya heard? It's that cylinder deactivation when V6 becomes a V4, when two pistons make ventilation openings in the block.

My favorite is when they list it as a "Manual Transmission", because it has manual shift option, while pictures clearly show PRND stick.

It's like those rare BMW V6 models that are advertised from time to time.

I had a girl at the parts counter argue with me that my BMW had a V6 engine. When I mentioned "I-6" she got the stare of confusion. I guess V6, or Vee anything, is a habitual comment.

Many are clueless.... maybe it comes with a backup 4 cylinder in the rear cargo area!

That's where they carry the spare CVT. But yeah, I bet the vast majority of the motoring public has no idea what is under their hood. V6? 4-cyl.? Rotary? Boxer? Diesel? Electric? Solar? It's just guesswork for some folks.

Perhaps, they meant that the vehicle originally came with six; but at the present time, only four of them are functional.

Turbo 4 cyl swap maybe?
