In the near future, you'll see 2.0L 4 cylinder engines with 225-300 hp

cooling gallery pistons, servo controlled, extremely quick acting EGR and
other technologies that will allow much improved economy and emissions
from current tech.

Thanks for the update. My burning question is, however, will this engine and the rest of
the car make 250,000 miles if I take care of it?

Quite possibly 300,000.

Every year the darn things get better - in many ways anyway.

GM? Lets hope we START to see improvements, as they've been building
the 3.8 for how many decades and STILL have not solved their most
glaring defects.
