Can you think of any four-cam engines currently in production? I'm still puzzled as to why they would go with four instead of two. But then I'm not a mechanical engineer.
My parents bought the car new in '89 and I still have the original brochure, there's a pic of the engine cutaway in it, but it's pretty small. We still have the car and it runs great, but I've often thought that if I had some spare change lying around that I would buy a 2VZ-FE and take it apart just out of curiosity.

The "cupholders" in my Subaru are pretty criminal. Absolutely useless anyway, but they become hazardous with the stick-shift involved. The real tragedy here is that the overseas models have this nifty slim vertical one that retracts into the center console. :hs:
