Heard today that the Omega and Berlina motors will be getting an "upgrade" and will now have dual VVT like the 195 engine to reduce fuel consumption.
When I first heard this I assumed that the 195 and 5 speed would be dropped in but its quite the opposite.
The fuel consumption will now drop to 10.6 L/100KM however the motor has now lost power and torque as a result.
So the Base model now makes 175 KW (yet again) and 325 NM of torque and produces the power at 6500RPM as opposed to 6000 RPM.
Im really quite surprised that holden has has so much trouble squeezing fuel economy out of this car and the fact that they had to lower the power to do so.
Such a young engine and it seems like not that much can be done with it.
