Like virtually every other automobile engine sold in North America, it is liquid-cooled.

I know how the engine is cooled, but I was curious as to whether the scoops cooled the engine BAY. I know of other automobiles that use this logic for cooling the bay, but they are mostly for show. I am just skeptical of car and driver, they get their facts screwed up quite often.
