I remember that, the twin turbo V6 is the first powertrain since northstar that GM put forth for cadillac exclusive and even it according to some is not up to snuff

What is wrong with the engine that it's now using. If an engine is great, I don't care where it comes from. It can come from a Chevy or even a lawn mower. Having more engines only increases cost. I'd rather spend the money saved by using an already great engine and make it even better. That's how companies make money and beats the competition.

I think it's alright, but I think it should be a V8.

Should GM tell the engineers who just developed one of the leading V8 engines on the planet to start from scratch and build a new one, because Cadillac said so?

Can GM do a trade out for some make overs for its executives? Grace and Dan look like crap.

I was hoping that Witch Bara had been dunked and burned at the stake.

Oh well.

LOL, the 2 on the left have yet to see their roles-and-responsibilities, unlike the 2 on the right that have, thus the 'just saw a ghost" glow.

They will, just as long as Cadillac flips the bill.

Seems to be a big day for announcements all around.
GM Canada also announced a new president today (Stephen K. Carlisle).

Listen Ladies and Gentlemen the Ultra V8 program is on the shelf. R&D just does not disappear, so they will be ahead of the game in the product cycle. Also GM has a Baby Dura-max rumored/possibly confirmed to be 4.5L in displacement. I would stick the baby D-Max right into the CT6 or CT7 or CT* when they arrive with some tweaking. This was the original plan set out by Bob Superior Lutz. He knew that once GM was able to shed the Gov't Shares and become a detached from them they would need some programs ready to fire back up. This plan is 5-6 years late, however there was a plan and now they have the money to further develop on what was already researched. Bob Lutz should be hailed as a saint because he was a visionary and looked 10 years into the future(My opinion). He left GM with enough R&D and a product road map to get it to the second phase of rebirth on a budget. Now that some budgetary constraints are lifted we will see the greatest turnaround in Automobile history from Cadillac and GM a a whole. Bob new he could not get it all done so instead of hitting some singles and a few doubles he invested in a home run. In this case it was an inside the park home run which is the Chevy Volt. Hindsight is 20/20 but foresight is 20/15.

With the new cpu power they can now tweak the ultra v8's and dura-max baby using software much like the new LT-1/Eco-tec3.

I am very excited to see what happens in the next few months/year.
