Is there some theoretical advantage to pushrod engines that I'm not getting
here?  Why do American manufacturers continually go back to the drawing
boards, create brand new engines from scratch and spend tens of millions of
dollars to create all-new pushrod engines?  With cars like the Corvette, is
it just to satisfy the purists?

There are overhead cam engines that are torquey, cheap to build and
reliable.  Why build a 21st century passenger vehicle engine that uses
pushrods?

Curious,
