It matters to me. It's called personal preference...and we all have our reasons.
For me...a 4cyl < V6 < V8. V10s+...meh, not all that interested...part of that is how I was brought up...other reasons include observing this amazing automotive Industry for some time now, and forming my own preferences.
That said...I don't really care what engine size is in the car, so long as it serves its purpose. For example, I LOVE my Cobalt...it has a 4 cyl. I love it as a peppy, yet efficient daily-driver, and have no desire to see any larger of an engine inside.
It's no secret that I dislike any and all foreign manufacturers...and that is, in a nutshell, all because they aren't on a tight enough leash in this country, imo. But that's a political/economic discussion for another day.
You may remember I gave the genesis coupe a pretty cold shoulder in this section. That's because I spend my energies rooting for the home teams: GM, Ford, and part of Chrysler...and that doesn't leave me a lot of time to waste on the foreign brands.
There is a line in the sand, though...I can have my opinions, and still be cordial...I will not blast you for driving a foreign vehicle ("you" used in a general sense, here). I may playfully jab you in the ribs, but I won't make a show of it. I also recognize there are some competitive foreign vehicles. But recognizing it doesn't mean I have to like them.
