cracks me up still that your username is caddyowner but you always trash caddilac.

Reminds me of somebody with VTEC in their name that always trashes Hondas and especially Acuras.

I haven't bought a GM car for many years but the CTS with 420 HP will have my interest.

Outrage

I think this engine, in an AWD XTS, is going to be quite the sleeper.

Well I for one admire this American car company for always staying update on power..
Simply give the customer what they want and eventually they will come.

When I joined CL back in 2009, I was still leasing a troublesome 06 SRX and owned a 91 Allante. I had bought or leased 9 GM vehicles (7 new) since returning to my dad's roots (31 years at a GM division) in the early '90s. Each of the new GM vehicles had more warranty issues than the combined total of warranty issues in new Ford, Lincoln, Honda, Toyota, & Lexus vehicles I've had over the past 20 years. I'd say I'm done with GM.

drop this motor in the ATS with the C7 7spd manual and I bet it sees better than 20/30mpg

....but that'll never happen, totally non-compatible.

This is just the base model engine? If so, then wow.

With that said, I can't imagine what power and torque the upcoming CTS-V would have. Either way, it's gonna have a whole lot more than what the current model has (especially with the competition getting more intense in the powertrain figures department)

No no, this is the "V8" replacement.

They will have Turbo 4, NA V6, TT V6, SC V8 (V). Similar to the 5 Series Turbo 4, Turbo 6, Turbo V8, Turbo V8 (tuned for more power M). Lexus GS will have NA V6 and Hybrid V6
