Typically, when we think of automakers with a long history of building great engines, names like Toyota, Honda, Ford, or General Motors come to mind. However, other manufacturers have also produced mills that earned them status as icons. Just look at Jaguar’s XK inline-six, it stuck around for a whopping 44 years, from 1948 to 1992. In other words, the lesson here is that even automakers without a reputation for reliability can, and have, built world-renowned engines known for being long-lasting.
