So you have an issue with the fact that GM makes its best engines widely available and doesn't reserve them just for Cadillac? Toyota and Lexus share V6 powerplants. So do Infiniti/Nissan, Acura/Honda, Volkswagen/Audi, Lincoln/Ford etc. The 9-4x will probably get some smaller turbo motor making similar power.
Olds 88,

You are wasting your time arguing with Mgescuro. This is his pet peeve as it goes to the subject of exclusivity of Cadillac. To him he would rather a lesser engine be placed into a Chevrolet or Saturn instead of them getting the best engine that GM has in their inventory (Nevermind that GM got beat up for doing such things in the past).

Obviously, you bring up the fact that other car companies do the same thing sharing an engine within it's various luxury or mainstream brands. Just be prepared. If Marc thinks 2+2=5 he will argue to he is blue in the face that he is right and will not even acknowledge you have a good point if you were to say that it actually equaled 4. His arguments are typically contradictory and many times unfair in that he will critcize GM/ Cadillac for something, but does not do so with other car companies.
