And for the big engine sizes:
I hate to bring it up... but the US.'s CAFE regulations screwed everybody into getting smaller engines. It's only going to get worse too, most vehicles (like the previous SRX) had a V8 option. Not anymore. 35 US MPG by 2016 has to be the Average Fleet MPG rating. So say bye to big engines. Or you will just have to coin up and buy the 'Slade. |
fake carbon fibre ...
grumble grumble grumble... hrmf!
(I'm in the same age bracket as you by the way)
Anyhoo ... last I checked there were still plenty of loopholes left in CAFE, and large engines don't always mean more fuel consumption. Different average for trucks (which include crossovers as small as the HHR), boost in numbers for having a flex fuel vehicle, footprint (wheelbase x track width) based adjustment to allow larger vehicles to be less efficient and prevent an invasion of micro cars. Thats just of the top of my head.
