Hello all. At an earlier post, I mentioned that there was nothing wrong with the Ecotec turbo four. This time, I'd like to comment generally on the suspension settings of vehicles.
In his blog, Mr. Lutz spoke concerning the GM Global Product Development process (read it here). He said, "Suspensions can be vastly different, changing the character and behavior of the vehicle, depending on brand."
Here's an idea, suspension settings don't even have to be different for vehicles of similar size. Witness the Enclave / Acadia / Outlook platform mates. I understand that their suspension settings were the same, and the reviews for the abovementioned vehicles tout their handling characteristics. Waiting at an intersection, I even saw a very enthusiastic driver take a fast right with his Enclave and it remained quite composed indeed.
Once a very good suspension settings are configured, there is little if any need to tweak them for different brands. These vehicles will have fans by the boatload whether they're branded and styled as Opel/Saturn, Saab or Chevy. Mr. Lutz, configure them right (once) and they will come ...
Well, what do you think?
