Prices aren't revealed yet though, but it's a 1.4, how bad can they be?

With both a turbocharger AND a supercharger! :psyduck:

I guess that's why ze germans gets almost as much horsepower out of 1.4 liters, as americans do from 4.

There's no replacement for d

Sounds like a good basis for a work truck, but if it's mk1 Hilux, doesn't that mean leaf-sprung live axles are the order of the day? Might be a shock for people who've driven anything built in the last couple of decades.

If it's cheap, though, and can maintain at some of the Hilux's clean-up-after-the-apocalypse reputation, it could do well with people who want a proper work vehicle.

Once the assuredly-cheaply made body panels all rot off, I hope you can't tell the difference between this and a 30 year old Hilux, ignoring the engine. That would be just great.

Having the headlights larger than the grille makes it look like some animu O_O thing. Or something, it definitely looks downsy.

While I love me some turbo V6es, I just don't understand why. They could easily get the same power and better economy from a LSwhatever, and it would probably cost less in manufacturing, too. And probably be lighter. Why? Also, it's weird that lut of 4 engines, only one is NA, in the CTSes nowadays. Crazy times, man.

My best guess is that GM is using a Twin Turbo V6 in the CTS to differentiate it from the Chevrolet SS.

I... guess? I dunno, seems like a hell of a lot of cost and work for something totally 100% unneeded. Gives some neat talking points though I guess.
