For anyone that curious, the V6 is rated at 24 mpg & the 4 cylinder gas engine is 31.

I sure hope they worked that lag out of that 1.5 turbo. That 1.4 turbo I had in the Buick Encore I just got rid of was horrible...

Which 1.4 in the Encore did you have? I had a 2013 Encore with the 138hp 1.4 and it was like you said, bad turbo lag, I test drove the Encore Sport Touring back in April with the 153hp 1.4 and it had no turbo lag. I traded immediately for it. We really like it. (Plus it was the color we liked)

They do not make a V6er anymore in the Equinox.

If anyone watches LivePD, you've seen Richland County SC using Challengers for some of their deputies.

They just traded them in.



Soooooooo Florida, about those Chargers...

Whoops, you're right. I was looking at the previous gen 2017's not the new 18's.

The new highway #s are 32 mpg for the 1.5L turbo & 29 mpg for the 2.0L turbo. So 39 mpg for the diesel is still a pretty big improvement.

So if I'm not mistaken, the Tahoe Custom actually drops the base price of Tahoe.

Yes it does, but it does not have a third row.

The 2 row Tahoe at lower price point is a go! I owned an LTZ in the past but I'm no longer looking for all that stuff..I'm interested

Which is fine because cargo space in the Tahoe with the third row was pretty much useless anyway......

And I've heard that sitting in the 3rd row isn't that great either.
