Alloytec is a lame name, regardless if it's taken or not.

i cant agree more.

if you think thats lame the motor in the ford focus used to be called "Ztec"... how much more unoriginal is that.

the picture looks like the current 3.6 used in the CTS and Rendevous Ultra.

DCX owns HEMI, www.hemi.com, and the most recognizable automotive engine name.  While GM can't create a recognizable engine brand overnight, it would be great to see it create names that it can completely own and market.

Since I'm no marketing genius (my degrees are in I.T.), I invite others to comment.  Perhaps I'm missing the point.

the hemi has been around since the fifty's

buick had a cool engine, it was called the Nailhead. Nailheads where used to power everything from street rods to bonneville top speed cars in the 50's. tell me thats not a cool name for an engine. these engines where massive torque producers. i dont know why they catch on. :blink: i was hoping GM would revive this engine some time i think its a cool engine to have.

heres a little something on the nail head.
