don't have a clue...hopefully they don't 
to think of it. A C-class can't possibly use a 3.7 liter engine because that would mean a very steep price increase. And, why would people want a freaking small car to have big engines anyway.

from what i heard is that Toyota wants to put a V8 into the IS for it to compete with the M3, C32, and the S4.
Vince, i agree with you, but big engine also could mean nose heavy, and drinking a lot more gas.

I don't think it would be a big deal. A little change in the bore and stroke and you get the added displacement. Plus the extra HP would be a competitive move since the Japanese luxury cars are more powerful and probably hurting sales.
