It's the beginning of December, and that means it's time once again for Ward's Auto to release its 10 Best Engines list.

While American and most European automakers still try to win buyers' money with the torque, the new Japanese Daihatsu Trevis tries to win peoples' hearts. Looking almost as cute as the good old Fiat 500 and the classic Austin Mini, the new Trevis features the same mpg as the hideous Smart FourFour marketing disaster.

And the price is good as long as you are ready to pay at least $49,950 and $53,050 for the 2007 Infiniti QX56 with either a two- or a four-wheel drive respectively.
