I think that those are the modern 'state of the art' engines that all the automotive critics want the Yaris to have, instead of its wimpy, antiquated 1NZ-FE powerplant. After all, if it is newer it MUST be better!

The U.S. engines were made at the Hyundai's engine plant in Alabama...and the engines could stall.
I guess this is what happens when you live in the US and buy a US engine to help the local economy? All this talk about banning manufacturers that sell vehicles that aren't produced in the US and sh*t like this happens? What a disgrase...

Took the Kia Sportage diesel for a long drive a 3 hour trip to Hunter Valley near New Castle in Australia. It went well got plenty of power the cruise control makes pull hard that you find yourself speeding. I wont use it anymore.
