Re: Buick 3800 V6 the BEST engine ever!

The premise of the video was how that engine is supremely durable and reliable over the life of the vehicles it was fitted to. And from that aspect, yes it was certainly a good workhorse engine.
However this was an engine designed to be supremely cheap to manufacture and help GM meet a price point for the cars that it powered. And those cars it powered were also supremely cheaply made too. See the pattern here.
This is all well and good, but why is it Toyota or Honda could design and manufacture an engines that was far and and a way more refined and just as reliable and still meet GM on price?
