Thank you all for your contribution.
I think my question may sound a bit silly to you who drive GMC on every occasion.
Maybe one can only tell the real difference after having driven both engines.
What I hear is that both engines are good when taken care of.
This is like almost any other car. There are no bad cars out there.
Only badly maintained ones.

But something I really hate is a screaming engine, like when you have 3000 - 4000 rpm
at highway speeds. I am used to have a humming V6 running 2200rpm at 120kph.
My mums' 4 cylinder FIAT does 4000rpm at roughly 130kph - This drives me mad.

So while good fuel economy is important to me, I think quietness is number one.

Maybe I should drive a 455 and a 403 GMC first, so I can decide what to look out for.

And just for your information - I am looking for a coach in the USA or Canada, not Europe.

All the best,
Dominik
