"Even though this engine is nothing special. It is based on an Opel (Opal) v6 design and it was in the 9000 CDE (belt changes every 30k) and in the Cantera (and in some Saturns). It has nice smooth power, but milage is 26 / 27 max. "
Not exactly... The block is the same design, but the 9-5 motor has Direct Ignition (the 9000 motor had Motronic), as well as the turbocharger driven by just the one bank. Less HP than the 9K motor, but more torque.
