2014 XTS to get 410HP TT V6
2014 Cadillac XTS gets 410-hp twin-turbo V6
Hmm... now that we know an Epsilon II based vehicle can handle that much power, I wonder if there is any chance of this engine going into a Buick Regal.

Losing 10hp isn't a huge deal, the 61ft-lbs of torque is quite the reduction though. Probably still a nice powertrain for the application.
What are the odds that this will come with AWD as an option? I could see torque steer being an issue in FWD but AWD should take care of that.

Edit: Now I see it's only available with AWD, not sure if that solves the problem, but I'm sure there's a reliability reason why GM didn't offer FWD with this engine.

I think it has more to do with having so much power at the front wheels (hello torque steer, and traction control) than reliability.
