Nope, here is what Lutz said about the Northstar replacement

How many links would you like? How about this... find me ONE link that says GM is building a 32V replacement to the Northstar that is date stamped after April 2008.






Those are moves in the right direction... Since the Cobalt's power train was "lacking" BUT the real issue with these cars (G5 too) is the exterior and interior styling and materials quality... Most buyers look at this first... And in this department these cars are very dated.



Any facts to back this up or are you posting rumours too?

This time not from Lutz but from Jim Taylor "The current STS and DTS models will be dropped at the end of their respective product cycles"

Link5

Link6



The bad news regarding#5 is built into links 4,5 & 6... or just Google "Cadillac DT7 on hold"

How about some details to back up your info? I would LOVE for all of your above info to be right and all of mine, which ALL comes from GM Senior Managers, to be 100% wrong...

There is a major STRATEGIC issue with GM's Cadillac line up... Lets say you are a 30's something CTS owner, who is doing quite well at work or in the market and in 2011 you want to upgrade to something bigger, fancier... (I'd call that person the PRIME DEMOGRAPHIC) So you are that guy, watcha gunna buy? Sadly with GM's Cadillac product placement the answer is, GS, LS, E, A8. See the problem?
The GEN 5 small block V8 engine can be either or have OHV cylinder heads and DOHC cylinder Heads.
