What constitutes a boxer motor?  Is a Corvair motor considered a boxer
motor?

 I read an article, I believe British, on the Corvair quite a while back,
where the writer referred to it as a boxer motor.  If that is the case,
after watching the last Barrett-Jackson auction, and seeing the inflated
prices any car with a Hemi sold for,  maybe we should call our motors boxer
engines, rather than a Corvair motor, when we get ready to sell them.  Boxer
seems to be a hot term nowadays.  I've even heard Subaru refer to their
engines as being boxers.
