  there are 1000, 1300, 1500, 1600cc car
  
  there are 2000, 2200, 2300, 2400cc car
  
  camry is available in 2.0 and 2.4
  
  mazda 6 is available in 2.0 and 2.3
  
  accord is available in 2.4 only
  
  there is no standard in engine cc - i mean in term of increment
  
  mazda 6 2.3 cc is smaller than camry/accord 2.4 cc and it is consider "slower" and "smaller" compare to camry/accord ?

  and wads the reason for making this thread?

  hmmm... actually the cars are round off to the nearest CC one...

  cc refers to the engine displacement. the total volume of cylinders. but it doesn't always mean there's a positive relationship between Bigger cc & Better performance. for example a 1.5 Ignis Sport can easily smoke these >2L cars you mentioned. and in a recent thread, we've seen how a 2.0 Evo is comparable to a Murcielago with thrice its engine displacement.

  the reason i start this thread is to check whether there is a standard in enginee cc size "increment", for example :
  
  1.6 -> 2.0 -> 2.4 ?
  
  we go 12valve -> 16valve -> 24valve engine
  
  we got v4 -> v6 -> v8 -> v12 engine
  
  i find the cc a little bit odd only ..

  cc means cubic centimeters which refers to the size of the engine
  
  there is no standard size for a 6 or 8 or 10 or 12 cylinder car
  
  eg. there maybe a 4000cc V8 but there can also be a 4000cc V6

  As with the engine figures, there are usually prominent 3 figures
  
  1997cc Engine Displacement
  V6, V8, V12 Number of Cylinders in V-configuration
  12, 16, 20 valve - The number of valve on cylinders.
  
  No...there is no standard engine size, similarly, even say for a 2.0-litre there are different displacement like 1997cc, 1998cc, 1994cc, 1954cc just to name a few example. It all depend on the manufacturer. Usually to make thing simple we round it off.
  
  You only mentioned V6, V8, V12 but there are other kind of configuration. The most common is S4 (aka in-line 4). In-line 6 are also quite common (BMW 325, 330i, skyline, etc). Also there are flat-configuration F4, F6 like those found in Subaru and Porsche.
  
  Valve. Usually, there are 3/4 valves per cylinder (2 in, 2 out), so 16V will mean a total of 16 valve (4 for each cylinder).
