They've come a long way since then and this 4 is a 272hp.

Don't tell me this is the Ecotec motor?

I wouldn't spend big bucks for a car that used the same engine as a cheapshit Cobalt or Saturd.

Even the best 4-cyl turbos have tons of lag. Such as the GTI......I tested one and it didn't come alive until like 3000, and then it was too abrupt. Same with the WRX.

Don't be surprised to see more of them. BMW went with a 2 liter 4 banger turbo making 240hp for the new 328i as well.

I thought we had a whole thread on the Panamera a year or so ago when it was first released.

Never been a V-dub fan until I bought my buddies GTI

Save your money and get the Buick Regal GS. Same motor and a lot cheaper.

RACER X · 11-08-2012, 08:55 PM
