Exceptions to the shift to V engines include BMW, which specializes in high-performance straight-sixes used in a lineup of front-engine/rear-wheel-drive vehicles, all of BMW's current 6-cylinder model line-up use the straight configuration, Volvo, which designed a compact straight-six engine/transmission package to fit transversely in its larger cars, and the Australian Ford Falcon, which still used a straight-six configuration prior to its demise in 2016. TVR used a straight-six configuration exclusively in their final cars before their demise. In a reversal of previous trends, Mercedes-Benz announced a return to inline-6 engines in October 2016.
