I'm surprised given the 3l twin turbo has an open deck block. I hope owners don't do too much tuning because it doubt it will hold up to a lot-more-than-stock power level.

With the exception of the extreme economy engines, every single one is German. What gives?

Major kudos to BMW! Subaru needs to get their act together to get back onto that list with their 2.5 liter turbocharged H4!
