Holden To Export V6s To Cadillac

Featured Replies

GM’s luxury arm Cadillac has placed an order with Holden for 2500 turbocharged 2.8 litre Alloytec V6s, which are destined for GM’s Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico. The engines (internally known as the LP9) will power the 2010 Cadillac SRX crossover, and are similar to those used in the Saab 9-3 and Opel Insignia.

Following can possibly be inferred:

1. Opel and SAAB may not have a "close" relationship as GM has stated once they are cut.

2. Holden may possibly stay with GM after the storm.

3. Opel or SAAB may have a hot product on their hands that they will not be unable to supply the engine from Europe.

I like everything about this article, even the name of the city where the SRX is being built. I know it's in Mexico, but what a cool name.
