I thought Nissan VQ was good too.

IIRC, the VQ35DE has won this award before, but Nissan seems to be falling behind BMW. They need to improve fuel economy to stay competitive.
Another conspicuous absentee is the Lexus 3.5L V6 (a la Camry V6, IS350), which is a truly great piece of work as well.

I am also suprised that there is no VQ on the short list.

@Hammy,
Toyota had some trouble with that specific V6 this past year, which probably was what kept it from scoring higher.

Yes, Nissan does have a nice engine, but it's on the Wards list of Best Engines, not this list.
As a segway, there recently was a show on CBC radio talking about how everything now has to be "award winning". It's worth a listen... http://www.cbc.ca/ageofpersuasion/2008/04/award_in_edgewise.html

"Age of Persuasion" is an excellent show. Props for mentioning it.
