^^^ how does this crazy story keep getting perpetuated. The only thing about them that's even similar is that they're both not rotary or turbine engines.

GM doesn't copy anybody anyway. Look at the thirty years of attempts to NOT copy Honda's light/turn signal/wiper controls.

They designed a two-stroke uniflow direct-injection diesel engine in 1938, I'm sure they had no trouble with designing the Atlas in-house. The manufacturing process for the blocks and heads is totally different from Jaguar's anyway, so what could they have possibly kept?

My neighbor's Trailblazer pissed antifreeze all over our street just like a Jag.
