Man, I seem to have stirred up quite a controversy here! My apologies, and please don't shut down this thread Spec2Girl!
Yeah, Duesenberg made DOHC cars back in the late 20s. The Japanese have made some very good engines. I am not disputing this. The Germans have made more really good engines, because they have been at it longer. Back when the Nippon Motor Co (nissan) was making cheap trucks for the Japanese army, Mercedes Benz was making street cars with OHC engines, that were fast, reliable, fuel efficient, and luxurious.
BTW, when Nissan first started exporting cars here, they called them Datsuns because they were ashamed to put their name on them.
