I'm agree with you but in general, V6 has opposite cylinders and the VR6 has cylinders in Quincunx.

The flat2 is a legendary motor in France due to the 2CV (50 years of production)
We forget Ford V4 too

I wouldn't claim to be the country who created the 2CV, can't you blame it on Italy or something?

C'mon, just look at the thing! The seats come out and double as lawn chairs for Christ's sake. That's not safe.
