Not only would it help to better distinguish any vehicle that used a 3.8L/4.0L DI HF V6 from the other GM vehicles that use the 3.6HF, but it would also reduce product overlap and reduce the appearance of badge-engineering. A 3.8L/4.0L DI version of the HF V6 would be ideal for any full-size GM model as a base model V6 powertrain option. Nissan, Toyota, Chrysler, and Ford have 3.7L-4.0L V6s powering their SUVs and crossovers for extra torque output so why shouldn't GM do the same with theirs and also spread a 3.8L/4.0L DI HF V6 into their full-size sedans as well? |
o.0 Because the old 3.6 already competes with all those above mentioned v6's? Let alone the DI HF. Well all but chrysler.......the pacifica was the answer to a question that no one asked according to motor trend. Looks like it got people's interest to ask though.
