doubtful anything that is gonna change. the 48 V system is embedded all throughout the German car, industry perhaps there’ll be some cars that are just pure gas only but they’ll be the cheapest cars and they may or may not have the start stop probably will just be deleted on those cars. even Toyota has some 48 V Hilux and Land Cruisers.rSource

48V will become standard in the next decade, as mfgs are trying to reduce costs. This comes with other initiatives like moving to zonal architecture, that can drive new features like 4 wheel steering, adaptive suspensions, and steer by wire without have ecus and miles of wiring.

I wonder if it’s like the Tundra…Toyota got rid of the smaller 4.6 V8 then axed the 5.7 V8. Is the LC going to the pasture or just its V8 powerplant
There maybe one person here that would…
I see what you did there!! 🤣🤣🤣

LOL I'm the one who has 3 out of 4 cars plated with "V8" in the license plate..... soon to be 4 of 5.
LC500 will be "V8GLORY"
Or I may change the GMC to "VETTEV8" and move the current Denali plate "V8FTW" to the LC500 when the time comes.
