Other than the vehicles that are new for 2010 and the 3.0L going into the CTS to replace the non-DI 3.6L there is really nothing new here.

We won't hear more about the 2010 G8 until later this year.

It also brings some certainty to the existence of the CTS wagon.

I really don't think that presence at an auto show means much at all in terms of production intent.

If it did, please tell me where I can go buy a Cadillac Sixteen. They must have been out for a few years now, no?

that was a concept. a better example would be the G8 ST.

I thought the CTS wagon at the Dallas Auto show had a window sticker on it. Maybe it didn't.

Indeed, that was a concept. What evidence do we have that the CTS wagon is not?

I know the aussies run a different ship than GMNA, but depending on when the 2010's are looking to be available here, not a lot of time is left to make decisions on updates. Also I assume GMNA's reaction of "what they want holden to do" is going to be dependant on how the market holds up over the next few months and also how the Camaro does.

LS3 with Direct Injection....... wonder how much power and MPG's it would bring. It'd be useful GM used the LS2 in a lot of cars besides the corvette. I can see the LS3 being put in more than just the corvette/camaro.

You wouldn't just "add" DI to the LS3. It would be a whole new gen of smallblock.
