Most of that corresponds to what we already heard with the exception of the HHR. That was supposed to be on the Delta platform. Now we know the GP and Impy get the 5.3 next year that will be torque limited to keep the 4t65EHD alive. Also Brandon told us about the SS getting a bump almost a year ago. The Z06 vette will carry a 7.0 L but not next year it will most likely be a year after that. Also LS4 was on the RPO code sheet that MervZ had on here like 6 months ago along with it being a 5.3 All aluminum V8 with DoD. So most seems accurate. The panel wagon SSR idea has been thrown around but I believe it got stalled in development a while ago. We shall see how much of this turns out to be true. h34r:

GM did research a v10 GenIII when the engines first came out and decided against it because of packaging and also fuel economy. I think now DOD has changed that. By shutting off two or four of the cylinders you can make it get the same gas mileage as an 8 or a 6. The Escalade will probably be the first to receive the XV8 followed by the HD silverado and also Sierra. I would also suspect the H2 will be looked at to launch the 10s.
