It's called hyperbole. Although I wouldn't say that it's an extreme exaggeration, the sentiment remains.

And you're still wrong. Most new cars in the US (other than sports cars) are using small turbocharged four cylinders. But keep trying to act like you know anything about cars in the US, it's fun to watch.

You can tell me I'm wrong all you want, I showed recent data for average engine sizes in the UK and the US and all you have bought is conjecture.
