Bill Visnic, Ward's Auto World senior technical editor, commented, "Instead of displacement, we're seeing a number of technical means to deliver the power all drivers find satisfying and comforting, while enabling a shift toward increased fuel economy that will improve the environment and enhance the nation's energy security."
Nominations for the award are limited to engines that are available in a regular-production, U.S.-specification model on sale no later than the first quarter of 2007 in a vehicle priced no more than $54,000.
