GM bought, built and jointly developed four cilinder engines in Europe for decades. They could just as simply brought home the technology and implement it.

From a long conversation I had with a few people that lived in the US for some decades, it's about the perception of size and power. It's about showing. There is a Camry where I live, gas engine; the car is a land yacht, the engine must be huge. For what? Next to the same car, a BMW is parked every day, smaller engine, much more power, a completely different level of manufacture.
