it's cheap, easy to work on and doesn't usually weigh a ton. they can make good power too. plus if you crack the cylinder sleeve, just pull it off and put a new one on

not really, the design was used almost exclusivly by VW until the mid 50's, when the Porsche 356 came into being. since then, really only Porsche's and VW's have ever used that motor.

no, AMC didn't like the design of the flat motors, they stuck with inline motors and v motors. the inline motor makes way more torque than a flat motor does, it wouldn't be economical to do that
