Dump the NorthStar and supercharged Northstar and spend the money that was being wasted on them making their better pushrod engines more quiet and/or adding more sound dampening materials to each model.

Unfortunately, the media and the people Cadillac is targetting wouldn't give these pushrod engines the time of day. You'd essentially be condemming Cadillac to a life of mediocrity.

Cadillac is going global. The pushrods do not have the same "halo" in other countries that they have in the US.

ADding pushrod engines to the Cadillac lineup would be a complete waste of time.
