It's not a matter of easy or not. It just doesn't seem to be something GM is interested in. They could have done it years ago if they felt it was needed to get the results they wanted. I assume this new engine will have their new Dynamic Fuel Management system too. But this leads to another question... with that power output, why not just go with the Cadillac Blackwing V8? It certainly has the pedigree, and it's not like they'll need it for CT6 production much longer.

Why 6.8 liter specifically? You've been talking about concentric cams for years now with the General not going that route. Why do you think they'll go that way now?

That's big enough you could have put a whole double DIN full NAV system in there.

^^ I actually like the G70 the best of those 4. For a new vehicle though, the infotainment system is oddly out of date.What the stock market likes most is certainty. With the current resident of the Whitehouse, the only thing that is certain is the uncertainty.I got one as change on the dining car on an Amtrak trip years ago. I keep it in my wallet as a good luck charm. .... ...... hasn't seemed to work.Drew Dowdell replied to William Maley's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)Hybrids are still where it's at for now in terms of electrification.... especially with the output the Aviator GT is promising.Drew Dowdell replied to William Maley's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)I like Infiniti spelled out across the front and that they put depth into the Infiniti logo. I've seen that on their other concepts.The Navigator doesn't feel at all slow.... with the 10-speed you are always in the deep deep powerband. I don't care what the ultimate 0-60 is, it is a terrible measure of performance. The Aviator... especially the GT model with all of the electric torque should feel the same.I feel his painI work with one Canadian and it is hilarious when he gets mad and lets out a string of cusswords punctuated with "eh"I don't know where GM package planners' heads are these days, but it isn't in a good place. I'm an old-time GM guy and I have a hard time seeing the value in GM offerings these days They just did the Tacoma.
