October 17, 200619 yr Anyone noticed they called the Pontiac G5 Pursuit? And have a pic of the sedan? Edited October 17, 200619 yr by ToniCipriani
October 18, 200619 yr My question is whether or not the MPG figures for Toyota's 3.5L V-6 are accurate. GM's 3.6L V-6 appears to match Honda's 3.0L V-6 on MPG. Toyota may be benefiting from Direct Injection. GM should develop DI across the board including 4 cylinders.
October 19, 200619 yr Toyota's 3.5 only has direct injection in the Lexus IS350 and GS350. GM has DI versions of the 2.0 Turbo, the 2.2 (in Europe) and will add the 3.6 DI next year. There are also 1.9, 2.2 and 3.2 L DI (all dual-CVVT) engines built for Alfa Romeo. Edited October 19, 200619 yr by thegriffon
