I don't know what the hell Cadillac is thinking. There is definitely a huge management problem at the GM senior levels. This new Twin Turbo 4.2L V8 engine is only two years old and it will apparently die with the end of the CT6 production at the GM Hamtramck facility. How can a two year old engine design be cast aside so quickly? Most the of the new sedan options in the CT4 and CT5 line are powered by an anemic 4cyl turbo power plant. Only the CT5-V model will get a Twin Turbo V6.
Cadillac (and GM) have definitely lost their way. While the Germans, Japanese, and Koreans are bringing standard 6 and eight cylinder options into their luxury lineups, GM is regressing to third class economy car status -- remember the Catera? You'd think they learned a lesson from those terrible days. SUVs and crossovers are not base Cadillac customer products, but the bean counters at GM are betting the entire company on that stupid premise.
