Vue gets 3.6 V6 DI engine.
Well, at least this proves that the 3.6 DI is definitely not exclusive to Caddy.

50% better than the non-hybrid 3.6 would be approx 24 city/34.5 Highway. (Just a complete guess, because I don't think the dual-mode helps alot during highway cruising, so it could only mean 50% city economy, BUT the numbers are out there.) |

I can get 400 from my Cobalt when I'm careful. But yeah, that thing sounds pretty class leading. GM is really rocking out with this two-mode thing. They're starting big on profitable vehicles, then once the cost comes down moving it to cheaper vehicles. Brilliant strategy, and the cars getting it first are the ones that need it most. If GM keeps this up, the new CAFE regs shouldn't pose too much of a problem. Keep it up GM!

Wow...500 miles! That's pretty good. My wife says she'll take one.
I can get 340 miles from my SS. I'm sure I can get more, but it sure is hard not stepping on that accelerator. |
