I test drove a G6 Limited Edition EcoBoost today and let me say that in practice there is little to no difference in the performance of the car compared to a I6 powered car. In fact the Ecoboost seemed perkier and quicker off the line in traffic and just as keen to accelerate to 100km/h up the hill at the beginning of the Frankston Freeway which is always my test of a cars power delivery. I found the package difficult to fault and I think if people give them a go they could easily outsell the Camry and the torque challenged Holden SIDI 3.0 as roomy cars that use little fuel. It's not quite as fast as the I6 but it's so close and has better low end torque that's its probably the better choice for the city driver.
