  1. I don’t know why people think GM must have a v6 turbo. Why bother with a v6 with v8 power? Why not make a V8 with v6 Economy, Best of both worlds IMO.

    It is simple, people are paying a extra cost over the V8 for the Turbo V6 in the Ford. As of right now the V6 has taken over 50% of the Ford F150 market. The power is more than enough in the V6. Note too the V6 just gets a little more MPG but people want and are willing to pay for it.

    For GM not to offer a better V6 would be leaving a lot of buyers going to Ford to get what they want. The time is coming where most 1/2 ton trucks will be V6 and to get a V8 it will be offered in only higher end trucks or heavier chassis.

    The V8 will not go away but it will be limited and more expensive.

    Yes sir, thats also because V6s are putting down over 300hp. and that is 90hp more than my dad's 1995 GMC with a 350 V8

  2. General Motors is investing $117 million to prepare its Oshawa, Ont., plant to build its new Cadillac XTS.

    The automaker said Thursday the move will create or retain 400 jobs on the assembly line.

    "This investment further extends the capabilities of the award-winning Oshawa assembly plant and pays compliment to the achievements of its dedicated workforce, one that consistently strives for excellence," General Motors of Canada president Kevin Williams said.

    The factory builds the Chevrolet Camaro, Impala, Equinox and Camaro Convertible as well as the Buick Regal and employs more than 4,500 people.

    The announcement came the same day the U.S. parent company, General Motors Co., reported its second-quarter profit nearly doubled to $2.5 billion US as it got higher prices for its cars and trucks worldwide.

    The company earned $1.54 per share, compared with 85 cents per share in the same quarter a year earlier. Revenue rose 19 per cent to $39.4 billion.

  3. Cremazie...the new Taupe Gray color for '10? I like, a LOT. The LTZ combo of Autoride with the 20's is killer, as if the base suspension wasn't great enough--enjoy it!

    Drove a Z71 Wednesday night in the same shade--Av's look particularly rad in dark shades. Can't wait for mine to arrive, brand new but a year old, the sacrilege of a 2wd Z71... :suburban: I've always missed our black '02 Z66. Just perfect.

    Okay...so now who is going to buy a 3rd one? Oldsmoboi...it's you...I hope!

    When I ordered it I wasn't sure if I wanted this color or black, am I ever happy with this color. It looks different in every light!
