That's because it's actually an inline 5 cylinder that GM puts in the Colorado/Canyon pick-up trucks. The '05 model had 225hp and the '06-up has 242hp. My wifey kinda liked them, too. Never drove one, but every article we read said it couldn't get out of it's own way. S---L---O---W. Not that you need enormous powa for an SUV, but some testers said they were afraid to pull out on a 50mph highway with it because of the terrible lack of accelleration. :o
They do look nice, though. I'm sure JJ's could find you an engine to swap in it.
