But Holden is australian and it would be the same technology we are currently seeing? And as you stated it's a petrol engine not a diesel so it's not exactly in the same league .
ok then, explain to me how the charging system on a ve works, i bet you cant, i guarantee you the technology is in the ve, everyone just doubts it because they just think its a bogan mobile
The DI 3.6L will make its way into the higher class V6's, like the SV6 and Calais(-V), but I don't think we'll see the DI 3.6L in the base Omega and Berlina models because there is only a 3% saving in fuel efficiency when compared to the high output alloytec...
So the DI version would only match the current fuel economy of the base Omega and Berlina (about 10.6L per 100km, maybe 10.5). They'll want to get the VE under 10L per 100km which is where its competitors are (Falcon and Aurion) as that 9.9L figure can be a big sell point. So to me, it makes sense Holden would go that route. It just doesn't make sense from the torque/drivability point of view.
umm no, the di (LLT) version does more than 3% better economy, it depends on how its tuned, in australia they will make it say 200kw its an increase in power over the previous LE0 (port injected) version but having it detuned they will gain more economy out of it, the LLT can and is tuned in some cars and are around Low 9's Per 100km
