I don't think the mileage was as much an issue in choosing the I5 as the fact that it was already available. Why plonk all the money into R&D when you already have an engine that is capable enough and that you can drop right in.

Now that the H3 is released and successful, and enough people are complaining about power, it makes sense for GM to look at other options.
