How many of you Would Consider the 5S-FE a "Good" Looking Engine? I know its not much to brag about when it comes to power and the 3S-GE and 3S-GTE Are both much better engines overall when comparing looks and Power (In My Opinion at Least) But I think the 5S-FE is a Pretty good looking engine under the hood of my car. I mean we know our cars inside and out so it's hard to compare how our cars perform on Paper to lets say a Honda H22 or B16 even since it was designed as an Economy Engine, but I think our engines look better than many contemporaries. What say you?

A little elbow grease (or a drill with a wire brush attachment) can make it really nice and shiny too!

The red top BEAMS 3sge is the best looking motor I've seen in a 6th gen so far

I agree to a Red Top BEAMS 3S-GE is the best engine I've seen in a 6th Gen too, my personnel favorite. But I can't help but love my 5S-FE, I remember the 1st day I got my car I cleaned the Engine bay and was all Excited.

i honestly think it isnt. the 1st gen 5sfe looks like a 3sfe in drag, the 2nd gens are the best by far and the 3rd gens in the camry & solara just look retarded.
