I would LOVE to see GM put out a turbo 6 cylinder car with a decent drivetrain. Make the bottom end capable of handling some boost and let the tuners run with it!

Check...and thanks!

BTW, any word on if that motor will make it to other cars?

Everything I've heard denies it....but I wonder if it will ultimately get the defuncted CTSv 3.6 turbo engine?

That sounds like the only way to do it. We know the 4.2 Atlas I6 won't fit. And I don't think we will see any pushrod v6's in the higher end Buicks so I think the 3.2 displacement VVT Turbo or TT V6 is the only thing we have seen that it might be.

I liked the Twin Turbo concept Trailblazer I6...I guess they are going with the 6L though
