While looking at photos of fully clothed women on reddit today i saw a question in the asksciece subreddit. Question was why is there no such thing as a 3 cylinder engine. Now is the time for all of us 3 banger Metrons to stand up and let our voices be heard. We have 3 cylinders. And we are freaking awesome. If not odd.

3-cylinder engines? There was also the Subaru Justy and the Ford Fiesta has the 1.0 liter Ecoboost 3-cylinder. As well as the new Mitsubishi Mirage. Not to mention the Kubota 3-cylinder. I'm sure there are plenty others...

MINI and Smart were three cylinders in Europe when they first came out.

saab switched from 2 cylinder engines to 3 cylinder engines in 1957 so 3 banger automotive engines have been in the usa market since 1959. ;)

i developed my personal fascination with 3 bangers from a 20 year involvement with saab 3 cylinder 2 strokers. there's a very real elegance involving the simplicity of a 3 cylinder engine. the very best of them have fewer parts and more basic designs.

i'm really not all that enamored of the new crop of 3 cylinder engines they are bringing out today. they seem overly engineered and contrived, complex to the point of being hampered by the technology that allows them to exist.

part of the technology has been created to allow only the factory techs to be able to effectively repair the machinery. it fits hand in hand with designed obsolescence and continuous support.
