It would get much better fuel economy with more low-end torque.

Luckily it would appear as though GM may twin-turbocharge the engine for future applications...

Same thing I've heard.

Hey Fenwick... how's GMI??? Msgero still being a ***? I remember that he said the SRX was gonna FAIL since it wasn't RWD. Talk about egg "whites" on his face... or in his case.. something else :(

Also... since Addicts went down everyone is at carfanatics.org. Come thru.

U take the top cars from those countries and put them up against an American competitor THESE DAYS and U'll find that the American vehicle is either EQUAL or better.

I'll take this Malibu over a Camry, Sonata, or Passat every day of the week. same thing if U put the Fusion in the place of the 'Bu

I'll take a Vette over a 911

a Camaro or Mustang over a 370Z


a CTS-V over an M5 or E63AMG

a Tahoe, over a Sequoia or Armada.

See what I mean tho? There really is no excuse anymore for buying Foreign.

The "better fuel econ and reliability of the Japanese" perception has been DEBUNKED.

The "better performance and engineering o the Europeans" DEBUNKED.

At this point the only people buying foreign cars under these falsities are the ones who simply won't admit that they were wrong.. and the magazines were involved in payola. MT and C&D I'm talking about U.
