Looks like GM is serious about getting back into the fight.

 

I wonder if it will still drink oil and stretch timing chains?

 

EPA numbers yes, real world no. Turbo is never as consistent in mpg as NA is.

 

Did they report the displacement on this thing? Regardless, it's a beast. Hope it's reliable!

 

wasn't the CTS -V already over 420HP?

 

that is impressive. the V is gonna be crazy at this rate! lexus needs to wake the F-up!

 

Way over, 550+hp in fact. But this engine is apparently for a base, non-V model.

 

Relatively speaking, the EPA mileage rating isn't that great. The Corvette get better highway mileage and that's with a V8.

 

It's also about 700-800 lbs lighter.

 

I hope this move forces Toyota/Lexus to offer a TT V6. The IS350 NEEDS it.

 

Woah!

Game changer.

 

Impressive #s for sure!

Looking forward to seeing how the new CTS looks inside and out. Current generation still looks great IMO.

BTW I have seen many XTS last few days and the car had TREMENDOUS road presence and interior wise its great as well.

 

I have to say I am very impressed .

 

Meh 17/25 ain't great though...I would have given up some power to see some 20/30 rating or so....

 

so its the same as the V8 and being turbo it can only go down from there
