American-made V8 engines are among the best engines from the Big Three; even today, they continue to use a cross-plane-crank setup, which is why they sound so different from their European counterparts, who opted for a flat-plane setup. "
James Bimson has got to be pretty clueless to make a statement like that. Only a few Italians did that, plus the lone, extremely limited AMG V8 in the GT Black Series. All the other V8's from Europe are cross-planes (and sound just like American V8's).
