GM News: Meet The Next-Generation GM EcoTec Engine Family
I meant that it might not work out as well in the smaller displacements you proposed. 2.0T sized pistons running in a smaller 3 cylinder.

GM News: Meet The Next-Generation GM EcoTec Engine Family
but those configurations may not have met other requirements for refinement. the latest 2.0t is a model of smoothness that I really enjoy.

Input on new tires for my '08 Pontiac G6
GMTruckguy, have you ever gone to R.W. Tire in Bordentown. My family used them for years and always felt like we got treated fairly there. That's where I always bought tires and other maintenance for my first cars when I lived in Hamilton.

Infiniti News: Rumorpile: Infiniti's 700 Horsepower Flagship
I doubt Infinit wants to get into the taxi cab market to compete with the S-Class... after all, Nissan already sells the NV200.

A 3.0tt with 550hp? A 3.7tt with 700? Seems high.

2013 Cadillac XTS Platinum
Buckle up! Edit: One thing I can point out.... in "normal" mode, you will experience what will feel like turbo lag on a sharp stab of the accelerator. It isn't turbo lag, it is the transmission trying to be frugal while you're trying to have fun. Sport mode removes this inconvenience... and then you really do need to buckle up.

2014 Volkswagen Passat SE 1.8t
All of the Passats I've driven have felt vault solid.... the only time I was ever disappointed with one was when the 2.5 had taken up residence under the hood like a rabid raccoon.

Rolls-Royce News: Rolls-Royce Considers A Plug-In Hybrid Powertrain
A Plug-in electric with on-board regenerator would be an excellent option for Rolls customers. Lots of low end torque long with silent running are a Rolls specialty.

2013 Cadillac XTS Platinum
GM has the 410hp Twin-Turbo V6 available in the V-Sport model.... it's got a lot of spank. Pretty much negates the need for a V8 unless you are going for V-Series type extremes.

Congratulations, Drew!
I just want to do it right since I only intend to do it once. Since we're funding the whole thing ourselves, I need to put money away for it.

Congratulations, Drew!
Heh. Thank you, but you're about 3 years too late. The whole thing was a mistake on Albert's part. He accidentally deleted me from his Facebook friends list and when he re-added me we had to re-establish that part of our profiles as well. To those of you wondering... Albert and I are engaged...and have been for some time.
