I'd heard about Yamaha building the engine for the Taurus SHO, but not Mercury Marine...didn't they build the engine for the ZR-1 Corvette?

Oh yeah...could it have been Yamaha Marine and that's why I got it mixed up?
Anyway, doesn't sound very American to me

These engines (IMHO) have far more style than any OHC 4 cylinder covered in plastic.
Eye of the beholder, and all that.
Okay, I'm going to make that Japanese engine quiz. Just have to find suitable pics and black out all the incriminating details.

maybe it is just the badge. porsche was involved in the the design of the duratec. obviously they put the rookies on the job.
i think the tundra engine has a bunch of yamaha engineering in it.
