Hi everyone,
In the "turbocharged energizing" era, we see a lot cars replacing their V6 engines to L4, and seems the L4 + turbo never fall behind in MPH, HPs, event NMs from their spec. However I still see a lot people favor to V6. I do believe it has its theories behind. Mechanical gurus who please help figure out? I am in selecting a Cadillac sedan SLS (designed for Chinese roads, L4 2.0T) vs. CTS (V6 3.0, imported, and should be default to US roads.)
Oh, yup, I am currently working in China.
Many thanks.
