Cadillac News: Cadillac Unveils New A Twin-Turbo 3.6L V6 For The 2014 CTS
Camino, CTS will have Turbo 4 and DI 3.6 V6. Yet while the numbers are posted, they have not stated what the new MPG will be. Most who have driven a 3.6 V6 find it more than pleasant on power/performance. So why would they not have a boost here for MPG needs then a step up to the Twin Turbo for better performance and then for the limited crowd the V8 V. This seems to make perfect sense and I think people are hung up on the Twin Turbo V6. I just hope it is reliable. 2L I4 Turbo 3.6L DI V6 3.6L TT V6 6.2L Supercharged V8 Or what ever the new V V8 engine will be.

Cadillac News: Cadillac Unveils New A Twin-Turbo 3.6L V6 For The 2014 CTS
No Cubical, this engine is a Caddy Engine. Camaro can have a twin scroll single turbo v6 of it's own marketing brand. We need to build the speciality of each brand and stop watering it down. The last thing we want to hear is people saying "There is the new XTS or CTS with that Chevy Engine.

Back again...GS style this time
At your rate of driving, I think you need to do a major road trip, the whole east coast, then from Alantic to Pacific on the southern route then up the Pacific Coast and back across I90 or Canada Highway 1. That should be a nice trip.

MARCH 2013 CAR SPOTTERS THREAD*******
On the way back down the mountain from Skiing in 25" of over night fresh powder and still dumping up there I saw a International pickup truck in a gold color being put up on a flatbed as it clearly had broke down. Not sure how old it was but it reminded me of all those 40-50's era pickup trucks.

ATS-V caught in Winter Testing
Blocks are Blocks, I do not see this costing much, but I would think building the heads with cadillac logo's on them and the valve covers as a start and giving the rest a personalization so it really reads Cadillac would go a long way with peoples perception. I agree GM needs to start engines with Cadillac and build their luxury image as special for the brand and then allow use of the blocks in other lines. Starting off with saying this is a chevy engine we will use in Cadillac does not come across very well. Example is how many lemmings buy Accura and pay the premium for a honda engine. When honda was sponsoring F1, they would introduce engine elements into the accura line up as their Formula F1 proven technology and yes it would also show up in Honda products, but not with the fan fair Accura got to put on it.

Fabulous Flops: Chrysler 2.2L and 2.2L Turbo I
I think these engines worked fine as long as you did the maintenance and took care of the needs that come with a turbo engine, but as we have seen. Most people only want to drive an appliance and do nothing to it so engines that require routine maintenance tend to fail early and had many people complain about it when in reality it was their own fault. While these were not the best engines engineered, they do last if taken care of.

Agreed, the FWD/downmarket mass production will hurt not help BMW/Audi/MB.

ATS-V caught in Winter Testing
A proper review of what is current in the market from a marketing standpoint needs to be done so that GM can best understand how to put a twist on having a superior V8 beat the Marketing Fluff of a twin turbo v6. GM has always done a terrible job of market research and market understanding to build a proper story that drives people into the show room.

13 Mpls auto show comments
First question, what does MPLS stand for??? Agree with Drew and OcnBlu that advertising has already disappeared and the Encore which was awesome to sit in at the seattle show should be on the floor for people to get in and check out. It is a home run hit, just have to let them sit in it and sales will come.
