Any current cars with timing chains rather than belts
For those who work in the auto industry can someone save me some time and run down a list of current medium and small cars that use timing chains(if any) rather than belts? After replacing 5 timing belts in my lifetime, I'd like to avoid another car with one.

In general terms if it's got 6 or more cylinders and is domestic it will more than likely have a chain. I know my '05 Malibu V6 did. |

For overhead cam engines, generally the larger, premium engines have chains, such as Mercedes, BMW, Cadillac etc. The smaller and/or cheaper engines tend to have belts. |

GM Ecotec. I think the newer Nissan 3.5s use chains as well.

All the new K series Honda motors are chain driven as well.
