So '86-'87 Regal T-Types and GN/GNXs were "economy cars"?
With $1,000 worth of "refining", they'd run mid/low-12s...better than or equal to a "muscle car" L99 with a similar budget...and capable of mid-20s mpg...with
25 year old technology.
The "potential" for a boosted V6, once the BoschBox is cracked, is
very promising...with mpg enhancements and an eco-friendly future...but
ONLY in RWD/AWD applications, thank you.
GM is finally reacquainting itself with its past, which also means "Eco-Boost" is
NOT "new"...
