I hope the 9-4X is spared the ignominy.

I get so tired of seeing your whiny posts about GM
sharing tech across the line, I'm about to introduce you to my "blocked" list.

Get this through your snobby, elitest head: It's not 1962 anymore. It simply isn't feasible for each division to have it's own unique engines and technologies. If you don't amortize tech across a broad number products, that very same tech will be prohibitively expensive, and then you'd complain that costs too much

I'm not saying that GM doesn't need to do a better job differentiating it's products (and refining it's line so they don't have 9 lambdas), but the underlying tech should be spread out to keep costs down.

And if my Equinox happens to have the same motor as YOUR SRX, I have 3 words for you: BOO F'N HOO!
