Great article and great analysis! Case in point;

The Solstice is rated 20/28 while the the Solstice GXP is rated 22/31 - IIRC

The technology (DI) is available. GM just does not seem to "want" to make it available across the line.

I am very curious to see what the mpg figures will be for the new CTS. I suspect the upgraded engine will get better fuel economy in addition to the 50 or so more hp?

DI is available and clearly gives significantly improved fuel economy. Why is GM holding back?

All you need to know that GM is falling behind on engine technology is to look at the performance and fuel economy numbers for the new Tundra's 5.7 engine. I am a GM fan and would never buy a Toyota, but this Toyota engine seems to blow the 6.0 away.
