Oh right, because I just read how Maserati is dropping the Ferrari engine from the Quattroporte in favor of a 6.0 liter V8 from a Chevy Silverado. You know what would be just HE-LAR-E-US!? If Maserati dropped the Ferrari engine from the Quattroporte in favor of the 6.3 Hemi from the 300C-SRT8. It would be an upgrade in both power (+25hp and +100 lb-ft) and fuel economy, but it would also be less expensive for them to repair under warranty when it breaks down. It would also make parent company Fiat happy to be getting more ROI out of the 6.3.

Turbo a pushrod for a Cadillac? It works for the last dinosaur that Bentley makes, but in the segment Cadillac is going after I don't think it will. Look at what the competition has, and also consider the move toward fuel efficiency in this class. They could do without the V12, since there are very few of those. But, Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Lexus, Maserati, Mercedes, Porsche all do a DOHC V8, even Hyundai if you want to throw in the Equus at the low end. I don't want a European car, I want an American car. The 5.5 V8 is going to be the most advanced pushrod ever. It will have VVT and DI and I have no doubts about its power capability or its smoothness. I am more firm in this than ever after my time behind the wheel of the CTS-V. It can be a tame pussycat when cruising or a while beast when you trash at it. It is very smooth with just a pinch of American muscle car feel. There is no reason to engineer a separate power plant for the Omega Cadillac other than equipping it with a turbo. Edit: and if fuel economy is a concern, that is just ANOTHER reason to go pushrod over DOHC.

Turbo the coming 5.5 as a base engine.

One of the most distinct and attractive entry lux sedans available in Europe. Sad to see it go.

The only SMART that was ever interesting to me was the SMART Roadster.

Chevy keeps up its sales increases bringing back "heartbeat of America" could be quite justifiable.

I don't see why any of that is bad. GM has their mainstream cars competitive now. And by competitive, I mean the Cruze is kicking butt and taking names, Lacrosse and Regal are selling well and getting good press. The next Malibu, once we know pricing, will likely do very well in the market. Even the current Malibu has held up well given it's age. There is no reason why GM can't do both mainstream AND niche diesel hatchbacks.

the latest Chevy commercials about "running deep" are pretty good though.... just like GM to cancel it just when they get it right

that is a vast improvement on the look of the Volare

I think the best you can do is file a police report, call animal control to file a complaint, and go to small claims court for the vet bill.

The man who can't stay retired.

Just imagine the spy shots you could get then! Just hover over milford all day. And there's no way the guy in the Super Duty could get you without a very long ramp. Good luck, I know you've been thinking about this for a while. hums... "What good is sitting alone in your room? Come here the music play!"

Hyundai needs to start breaking out coupe sales. I bet it's 3/4s of the total.

no wai dood! If Cadillac goes for volume, it looozes exclusivities. Mercedes still better cause it sells less and is now more sclusive!

Not with the amount of high strength steel they are using.

selling like crazy here too.... popular with women of alternative lifestyles it appears.
