Even the Holden website describes it as Quote:
Basically it was just an ego trip from the Holden marketing department, who thought, if we can sell the cruze in lots of numbers by saying the door makes a clunk sound when shut, then we can give the engine a fancy name, put a $5 tag on the back of the car, and maybe sell the car for an extra $500 to those just a little bit more gullible. |

Well originally they wanted DISI but Mazda took that one. DI has obviously made the motor alot better, it's now competitive with the I6 and in the states puts out as much as 230kw.

Combustion chamber injection...
Older EFI is direct manifold or port injection... It mainly helps with EPA...

Ford's Duratec 37 doesn't need it either to make the same power and torque as GM's SIDI 3.6. The D37 is within 15 nm of the Falcon's torque in the bottom end and stomps on it above 5,000 rpm. |

I think they went with SIDI as a marketing term. Sounds like "City" you see?
But to us Ford fans... it's just SHIDI.

Also isnt there more strict emissions for DI engines? Another reason they didn't go DI on the Falcon 6.

Its not just a Holden term, its a global GM term. I wonder if they highlighted the Spark Ignition bit to set it apart from the diesel direct injection systems?

I think the Ecoboost I-4 will give a huge counterpoint to the 4.0 I-6
and may well be our ace in the hole if fuel prices keep climbing. Holden's 3.0 SIDI may have stolen the march with 9.0 l/100 km but it cannot match the 2.0 EB's 8.0 l/100 km, low end torque, weight reduction and 4 cylinder only fleet access. Game set and match to Ford.... |

They should use that in marketing. "Premium 4.0L inline six."
