Upgrading=Downgrading?

Usually when you hear that a new car model is coming out you would expect some small aesthetic differences, new technology and maybe a better engine. Unfortunately, because of this issue called global warming everyone wants fuel efficient cars, changing what we would usually expect from a new car. So in order to get people to buy their cars, car manufacturers are devising ways to make their cars more and more fuel efficient. The most common ways to do this is to make cars lighter, able to use E85 gas and make hybrid models. Apparently this isn’t enough so automakers including Volkswagen, Audi, Volvo and Fiat (a European company) have decided that in their newer models they will be putting downsized engines that are fuel efficient due to the sole fact that they are TINY!

 To the car enthusiasts dismay (me included) more and more cars are becoming this way and they are going to keep coming. For example the lowest end Corolla has a 1.6 liter engine and the lowest end Nissan, the Versa starts at $9,900 has a 1.6 liter engine. Volvo has been planning on debuting a new engine that is also 1.6 liters with 113 horsepower, but the problem is that Volvo does not make any tiny cars. At the moment, their smallest car starts at $24,000 and has a 2.5 liter engine making 227 horsepower. If they try to stick this tiny engine into any of their cars, I will probably cry.
