Ok, I forgot about the huracan engine truthfully, but mostly I was talking about normal consumer engines not expensive performance car engines or hypercars.

The Chrysler older engines are decent in the grand Cherokee jeeps and such but outside of that their transmissions and engines suck depending on year or model run, electronics go out in newer jeeps since like 2005. Let's not forget the massive jeep tax for parts because jeep. There are exceptions to the rule for sure and that's across any models/years. But pound for pound overall. I'd take a 5.3l LS engine over most anything. Kia makes some good cars. About anything modern has went down hill. Engineering tolerances have increased but quality of materials and control have been pro business and less pro consumer. Planned obsolescence. Mechanic techs are getting screwed the most now.

Exceptions to the rule and examples are not blanket statements.
