I liked this quote from the Isuzu press release. Not very stuffy! I'll bet he's a down to earth kind of guy:

"This engine is more environmentally friendly, efficient, and powerful. But it doesnÆt require premium fuel," explained J. Terry Maloney, president of Isuzu Motors America, Inc. "ItÆs like having your cake and eating it too, and then finding out your cake is low in calories."

And yes, I can't spell Subaru.

On a related note, the Caddy 3.6 liter puts out 260 HP, very close to Isuzu's 3.5L/250HP. Gas mileage is Isuzu (17/21) to Caddy (16/23). Caddy has a 5-speed with final gear ratio of 3.73 to Isuzu's 4-speed with gear ratio 4.10. And for some reason, the Caddy towing is 1000 std/3500 max to Isuzu's 4500/4500.
