| Powering the Outlook is the
GM 3.6-liter V-6 with variable valve timing. It is rated at an
estimated 269 hp and 247 lb-ft of torque. Available with either
front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, the unibody vehicle shares
a six-speed automatic transmission that was developed with Ford
Motor Company. While transmission components are shared with
Ford, application engineering, such as for its calibration, is
unique. GM says that when compared with its usual four-speed
automatic, the new transmission provides performance
improvements of about six to eight percent while improving fuel
economy two to four percent. |
