The mean effective pressure is a quantity relating to the operation of a reciprocating engine and is a valuable measure of an engine's capacity to do work that is independent of engine displacement

Well it may not be "crap" but the fact that he is comparing the Mercedes base model run of the mill POS engine to Subarus "flag Ship" rally bred engine probably is.
He does it all the time, takes the spartan base model Merc, Audi or BMW then compares it to the top of the range Jap or Korean car and declares the Euro a POS. (but they are now on par price wise, that is his excuse.)
It's not a surprise to anyone with half a brain that a Merc is WAY more expensive than a Hyundai if equally specced. But he then sprouts it like he just discovered uranium.
I'm sure if you compare a WRX to an AMG A45, we all know which is the more efficient and technologically advanced car. I know we also all know which is more expensive.
