Unfortunately a large part of marketing is people believing that others do not wish to be informed about such things. They just want to see “number move in good direction.” The stats unfortunately prove that. Most marketing material now is basically lying through omission.
Mercedes too. An E300 used to have 300cm³ of displacement.
Still it’s better this way. People demanding huge displacement values for no fucking reason when technology has long moved on are among the dumbest on the planet.
Still no harm in changing the way in which we refer to the process to something more representative. It could signify a shift in manufacturing and you could spin it as a positive thing in marketing (which would surely not be lying).
Because while they weren’t shrinking in that aspect, other things were shrinking.
Its similar to how BMW decoupled their model numbers from displacement quite some time ago. Its where it sits in “the ranking”.

I’m sorry, but it is 3000cm³.
Thanks. Of course it’s liters.
