[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by edblysard</i> <br /><br />Better! <br />The one I drove had the Hemi, with the auto-stick,(automatic transmission that you can shift like a standard) and the multi staged engine. <br />It runs on 4, 6 or 8 clyinders, depending on the speed and acceleration. <br />At highway speed, the one I tested liked the 6 cly set up at 60-70 mph, but under 60, went to four clys. <br />Step on the gas, and hold on, no hesitation going to all 8, and right quick about it. <br />Chickened out at 120mph. <br />And the car was pretty well built, nice finish on the inside. <br />Who ever designed the micro processors and the program they work off did good, you dont notice the cylinder switch at speed, and from a dead standstill, if you put your foot into it, it skips it all and goes right to the 8 clyinders hemi set up. <br /> <br />Handled at lot better that I thought it would, rode like a heavy car. <br />If I can convince the wife, should have one soon in the driveway... <br />Ed <br /> <br />[/quote] <br />I've been learning to 'sit' on my hands whenever I read auto related input in this forum (maybe a little too passionate about the hybrids!-and it IS a train forum,right?) but do you remember when Caddy did the 4-6-8 and failed miserably? 'Course- they're both in the same class of automakers...I guess time will tell. <br /> <br />P.S. Buy a hybrid!
