Re: GMI Exclusive: LaCrosse Engines, Details Emerge

Now this is a car that'll take it to the Acura TL, not just the Lexus ES350 and GS350. And it'll certainly have more luxury to it than the Maxima (too bad Infiniti doesn't have a FWD lux like Lexus does). They got the engines right. I hope they get the rest of the car right, and this Buick will be a real player.

As for the engines, a 3.0L DI making 250hp isn't bad at all. I hope the Malibu (and the CTS) gets this engine to replace the 3.6L non-DI unit. In fact, I hope every non-DI 3.6L gets replaced with this motor if it's more fuel-efficient and produces around the same power.
