It appears that GM is readying itself for a confrontation with the new gen Ford powertrains. How timely...

 

I saw that too ....posted it in another thread....Is this the DI Gen V?

A DI LS-series V8.....

Yum.

 

Awesome, since it fits in the EPII's maybe we will get a 2012 Malibu SS

 

will the camaro pull a GTO and introduce a more powerful engine after its initial year? or initial 2 years?

 

Where will it be made?

GM is shutting virtually all of it's V8 lines in North America.

Name one that will stay open after next year............

For the record I've always said that GM must have a V8 available for Cadillac. It's a crime for it not to at least be an option.

 

Even more interesting is if the C6 will get a 3rd base V8.

 

So no pickup truck will get a V8 after next year?

 

I wonder if they will still use the LS name or it the new engines will get a new name like the LT1 to LS1 generation.

( gen 4 should have been gen 3.1)

That doesn't seem very likely.

 

You want to build a truck V8 on the same line as a small block Cadillac motor?

Might want to rethink that.

 

XTS won't have a V8, at least initially...

 

Man I am starting to feel like it's 2003 again..so many people talking matter of factly about things I don't think GM themselves have decided.

 

But isn't it 10 times better than talking about bankruptcy law?

Make that 100 times better!

 

Branden, is that in reference to the Gen V or other stuff brought up in this thread?

 

Yes - in 2003, lots of folks were talking about 2005 or 2006.....don't think anyone was thinking 2009 as a 2010 (and if they were, they certainly weren't thinking it out loud).
