Maybe I'm crazy, but don't most trucks with a 6-cylinder engine have the
cylinders inline? Every Lego truck or crane has a V6.  Their designs have  been
like that for over 10 years.  Is this just because a "V" fits in well, or do
European trucks actually have V6's in their trucks? As far as I know, most
American Rigs have either a V8 or and inline engine. I thought inline engines
were better for torque and V's were better for RPM's.  I don't know very much
about engines though.
