v6 cruze
I was doing so searching on another forum and there was talk about that GM should try and put the 3.0 DI v6 in the Cruze. I think it would be bad 2.0t better power and weighs less but thats just me. So my question to you all is what do you think of this idea?

that would have some get up
|
Well imagine a DI 3.0 with a blower/turbo setup. That would make some power too.

they make a bit more power than the 2.0t but they only make 220 torque plus the weight difference from v6 to I4

GM is so fickle on what they will or won't do, I have stopped trying to figure it out.
Once you can go to a dealer and buy something that's when I believe it. |

this was not something GM was talking about just an interesting posted on another forum.

I can't think of one argument in favour of putting this motor in the Cruze.
|
NOT gonna happen.

383 Stroker and I'll consider it :lol:
|
Obviously considering the went from a 2.2/2.4L N/A motors to a 1.8L/1.4T, means they arent considering big displacement anymore. The biggest motor that will probably ever be in the Cruze will be the 2.0T, thats it, IF that ever happens.

It will never happen
/Dream PS. Most companies are getting away from the V6. Why a 6 when they can do a 4cycl with a small turbo for cheaper, and the same stock performance. |
I might be the only one - But I think they should keep the LNF and just say the 'Cruze' is a Cobalt remodel. Cobalt has only been in circulation for what... 4 years? I really like the new look but I think it should be a cobalt.
I agree with the 4 cyl over 6 cyl though |

And no they shouldnt call it a Cobalt, it looks nothing like it. If anything, the Cobalt should of been called a Cavalier. They had the same body lines. They should just drop the LNF in it, throw "SS" on it, and be done. The LNF is coming out in Buicks, so it'll still be around, so I don't see why they can't do it. I dunno. I'm sure someone will total their Balt, and throw the built LNF or LSJ in it somehow. But they need to make it look alot more sportier before I can take it serious. |

Exactly, and works out better for US. We got a modable (for the most part) car. Hence the new Sonata, with a 274hp 2.0L Turbo DI motor. Thats awesome. Reflash and im sure it will be at or near 300whp.
Cobalt was one of GMs most neglected models. The Cobalt was produced for SIX friggen model years and NEVER recieved a refresh. Thats almost unheard of. Most cars go 2-3 MAX before recieving at least new bumpers, updated headlights, refreshed interior, etc. |

The Cobalts got new inserts and foglights in later models. Does that count? :poke::lol:

So when the SS from went from LSJ to LNF that wasn't a refresh? More hp/trq, better suspension, nicer rims? I mean its not much but imagine if we had the LSJ from 05-10 and the LNF never existed.
