Classified search: V8 and 8 Cylinder

[Cascade360]

Quick query: why is there an option to filter by both V8 and 8 Cylinder in the Classified search? I don't think any modern cars have an inline 8, and V8s seem to generally be listed under the 8 Cylinder option rather than the V8 option. Equally, why is there an ability to search for 6 Cylinder and V6 separately, but no ability to search for I6? Would it not be simpler and make searching easier just to limit it to cylinder count and not configuration?

Thanks for raising, I'll flag with the techies.

VW made a W8 engine, which wouldn't be classified as a V8, therefore would be swept up under the 8-Cylinder banner.

But would list very nicely in the 8-Cylinder section, without the V8 section.

While you are at it. Can we have a tick box for 'has towbar'

Indeed, so just put all V8s and the very small number of other 8 cylinder engines under 8 cylinder; doesn't make much sense to have a V8 category with only a handful of cars listed, but no W8 category, and most v8s under the 8 cylinder category; and V6 but no I6.
