After the 'End of the Falcon is nigh' tripe for this morning, here is useful info hidden in the wings. But since it's not negative, we don't see it rolled out everywhere (it's hard not to be cynical isn't it)
Key points for me - the 4cyl will use up to 20% less fuel than the current I6 so around 8.0L/100km. Will have 170-185kW of power, and will generate 325Nm of Torque from as low as 1700rpm. Nothing really new. And if Jez was clever, he'd have mentioned that the Holden 3.0L SIDI has a bit more power (190kW), but has less torque - 290Nm at 2600rpm - and uses more fuel both in the ADR cycle and the real world. I was OK with the rest of the article, but it's interesting that the very first thing that Jez Spinks focuses on in the article is negative. But I'm not really expecting balanced reporting any more from this guy, he's the new Josh Dowling to me .... http://news.drive.com.au/drive/motor...0111-m1rc.html Lukeyson
