Need to know a common VX term???
« on: 01 January 2009, 23:04:41 »
 :y :yplease does anybody know what the M stands for in MV6?? I had it explained to be Manual V6 but after looking out for confirmation for the last 6 years since I ran one. I'm still not sure.The need to know is not desperate,simply its something all enthusiasts surely should know.

Number of explanations, most popular is either Multivalve (thats the prime contender) or Motorsport....   ;)

Oh dear!! looks like nobody realy can say. So it would seem to be down to what choices are in your own mind. WOW that would appear to be rich and varied. I'll opt for multivalve although mullered brought a smile.Oooooooo,And so soooooree about CoCo.

I read the initial question. :P I was just pointing out that the M might not actually stand for anything as the other terms mean opps all too!  :P  :P

It's unlikely to be owt specific, as the MV6 in Continental Europe is the same spec as our Elite.

Very valid point, originally GT meant Gran Tourisme (or some such franglais) and was only applied to large touring cars which were a bit sporty like Bentley Continentals or DB2s, modern equivalent would be something like the big Volvos or the Chrysler/SAAB thingy...these days it gets used as sporty (in their dreams) and can even be seen on 'super-minis'. What they used to mean and what they are used for seem to have lost any link.
