Some highlights...

Cruze gets 2 more MPGs on the highway. 38 MPG with the non-Eco 1.4T.
Cruze 1LT/2LT get a manual transmission standard.

Equinox/Terrain both come standard with 7 inch touchscreens for the new infotainment system.

CTS gets the new LFX engine, 318 HP, but deletes the manual transmission on non-V-series cars. All three variants are getting a refreshed front grille.

Impala gets a refreshed front/rear, LFX/6-speed auto.

hmmm i wouldn't have deleted the manual option from the CTS unless they had a better auto ready since they are trying to market it as a luxury sports sedan.... maybe im just old fashioned

TheCaptain · 04-16-2011, 04:34 PM

SRX also gets the LFX as the only engine too eh! That'll be a slightly nicer engine for power then the 3.0L. It seems greedy people don't like the SRX 3.0L, they think it should be a rocket ship or something.

3.0L LF1 in the SRX is dead. LFX will be the only engine available.

I know. The 3.0L is a nice little engine though.

I have to disagree, its a terrible motor for heavy vehicles. It has no advantages over the 3.6 whatsoever, not even in fuel economy. The Torque is too high in the RPM makeing it feel under powered, but supposedly it is being twin turbo charged. With the up coming turbo 4s from GM the 3.0 N.A. V6 is totaly pointless.

HeatherR · 04-16-2011, 10:15 PM

Well the manual delete is sad in the CTS. In 2 years when I am due for a replacement I wanted that option...looks like I'll be forced into a V lol!

I am sure the take in the manual CTS is very low, so I can't really blame them for making that decision. I can't take my car in for an oil change without drawing looks from the techs cuz they have never serviced a non-V manual!

DAC17 · 04-16-2011, 10:16 PM

Anyone know when they start taking orders for the 2012 Camaro?
