Goodbye V6 for GM mid-size lineups? It may start with Cadillac ATS
Spy shots and intel indicate that General Motors is lining up a 2.0 litre, turbo-charged four-cylinder engine for the upcoming Cadillac ATS.
Such an engine is speculated to be a move that removes the oft-used V6 engine from all future GM mid-size lineups, a move that competing manufacturers have made over the last few years. Here's the story and photo gallery from AutoBlog: Quote:
I think this is an interesting - but not terribly surprising - direction for GM to be moving. With the focus of many automakers being on fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance, many models are being moved to turbo-charged engines (see: BMW M-Series). I think it also opens the door (at least in my wishful mind) to the possibility of smaller, sportier coupes that we'll all likely want to take out and burn the tires off of. Still, all kidding aside, I will be interested to see how GM moves forward with this engine and what models they will consider integrating it into, especially if they ARE considering doing away with the V6 mid-size models.
