The cars and bikes thread!

[Seriously]

Yep, everything mainstream is moving towards smaller engines and turbocharging. It's a more efficient way to generate power and torque.

But this 6.2Litre 'always on' behemoth slipped under the EPA radar


Yeah turbo's make engines volumetrically efficient, so everyone and his mum is doing it nowadays.

That 1.4 is more than likely helped along by a turbo, giving you an effective ~2Litre ish NA

Is that suzuki a 4x4 or an awd

It's yet another wannabe..

Older innit.

Seat actually, and the latter. There are fwd versions too...

Was joking innit….

Manufacturers can still make big bar steward engines (if there's enough demand) , it's the fleet/portfolio overall average emissions they have to keep bringing down….

Sadly. Luckily, I still have two naturally aspirated V-8's in the garage. One gets around 21-22 mpg in mixed driving, not so horrible. The other one...well, not quite so great but I don't care.

Congrats on the new ride! Glad you got it. Love mine, I've put almost 10k miles on it this year.

The mileage is pretty bad on it, so we'll have to see how much I end up spending on gas every month.

Fuel economy and range are pretty bad but the great chassis and drivetrain makes up for it.

Keep the trans in comfort mode, stay out of boost, it should get high teens for mpg.

Sweet!

A 2014? 6.2?
I haven't kept up with Cadillac. I think the V series wagon was introduced in 2010' how many years was the wagon in production?

Blown LSA 6.2L. Factory says 556hp 551tq.

With the CTS-V, I'm also now in the "not so great, but I don't care" camp.

I know you have the Aston. What's the other one?

Depends on your definition of 'comfort'
