What about this engine is new?

Everything

Not the base tech it uses.

That's Ecotec shit that's been used since the 2000s

It's not based on the ecotec

Not any ecotec engine in particular no.

Point is, yeah I wouldn't trust it either

For now.

But I wouldn't trust an N/A engine right out of the gate either.

No engine is trustworthy when new. Give it two or three years, though, and this one has potential.

Seen it

👍

lol

I like this direction for truck engines though.

Mid displacement, low boost, high compression.

Be interesting to see what they replace the 5.3 ecotec with. Probably either a small V8 or a large V6 turbo

I'd love to see like a new Nova, with this 4cyl, competing against the BRZ/86

I think a de-bored/stroked version of this engine (like, 2.5L maximum) would be perfect for a sporty Cruze.

Cruze SS would be great.

The world needs more small torque monsters. Been a while since we had a real torquey small sporty car like the Mazdaspeed3

Kinda like this...

...The hell is that?

Sorry, 'Murican here

Concept car from Chevy

Oh

Duh, didn't have the Holden logo.

Was about to say I'm not big on recognizing Aussie cars

Lol I'm murican

For whatever reason I took one look at that and thought "That's an Australian car."

The previous design era of GM shared a lot with Holden, before they finally stopped all production

But yeah, I do hope they make some sporty cars with the 2.7L

It would make a nice lower-revving-but-torquier competitor to VW's 2.0TSI

Just got done ordering an SRI for my car

yey

I really wanted a '74 Dodge Sedan for a while

Did all the research

Couldn't find one in the country, and Australia wanted to tax me something like 30%+ to bring one here
