deathcards Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) don't get me wrong here i love my 2003 impala with the 3.8l but is it just me or is gm getting worse with engine choice to me my mom's 3.5L sucks and has no balls and i hear the 3.9L isn't the greatest either 5.3L was a beast 3.8L is great engine with a few tweaks the newer 3.6L is alright i hear but what i have just read makes me sad really are we gonna have a 4 cylinder in a sports sedan that never had a 4 cylinder in its life so i am rising the flag and setting sail tenth gen. impalas engines 2.4L and 2.5L 4 cylinders the stupidity just can't be expressed to me 3.6L v6 Edited June 9, 2012 by deathcards Quote skar sk2500.1 0 gauge power and ground kunukonceptz alpine HUvxi65 components on BA gt-275new build log -> http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/150642-project-d-kon-deathcards-build-log/#entry2148821 2 x-15 sundowns singer alt, odyssey bat, and maxwell ultra caps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamHT Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Economy. Supply and demand, simple really. Its pretty obvious the significantly larger majority don't care about the thing you find important, ride and economy are going to sell more. I complain about the charger being resurrected into a sedan, but that shit sells like crazy. Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

b-dubs89 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 gm has been going backwards for a while now , the 3800 motor is one of the best engines they had ever made and yet gm quit making it here not too long ago , prior to that they went from a cast aluminum plenum that didn't have many problems often to a plastic piece of shit plenum that was guarrenteed to fail sooner than later . why is it that my 92 buick park avenue with 171000 mile got 31 mpg highway , and a new buick sedan gets somewhere close to 22 mpg highway ? sounds backwards to me . to be frank i am not surprised that gm had money problems and needed a bailout .

8v fury Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 It seems like gm is slapping names on something that people thing will buy cause of yesteryears. With the way gm is going, specially with the no so good demand of he volt and the airbags deploying for no reasons on some of their cars, I am sorry to say, gm is starting to lose it again.
