Re: Review: Malibu Maxx offers Chevy concept of 'blue-collar tech'
There are definite benefits to ohv vs ohc. My 4.3 liter makes a ton of down low torque which gets my jimmy moving quick off the line. It is no less refined than the 4.6 in my mom's truck and doesn't take an extra two seconds to start moving like the japanese L6 in my dads car. How many people have purchased GM trucks and SUVs over the last 10 years since SUVs have been big? Millions and millions, and they all came with 'unrefined', 'low-tech', and 'blue-collar' ohv engines. Did they just start to care now? Most people don't even give their engines enough gas to reach the ohv's 'unrefined' upper rpm range. I think i'm just going to start ignoring the automotive press, they don't speak for 90% of consumers.
