The alpha platform already has a V-8 engine in testing right this moment, the new CTS V packs a supercharged V-8 engine and the CTS also sits on the alpha platform.
Also people forget that the Chevy Small Block is a very compact engine design meaning it doesn't need that much more space (if any at all) over a V-6 engine which is already in the ATS. Not only that but the LT1 is lighter then the LF3 engine (twin turbo 3.6L DOHC all aluminum V-6 engine) while producing more horsepower and torque and better fuel consumption. |

Yes, they put the LSx engine in a mini-truck, SSR, and FWD cars. It's very small for a modern V8. It will fit in an ATS.
Some questions arise about the rumor that Cadillac will have a turbo LSx engine in the next CTS-V. Probably not true.

Ha, that is the funniest thing that I've read on this board in a long time. Example #7,643 of a dealer spewing pure rubbish/lies/ignorance (take your pick) in order to sell you a car TODAY. |

I find that dealers often know little to nothing about these cars unless the person you are talking to happens to be a car fan.

did you tell your dealer they're an idiot? Because that is completely false.

Which will allow the LGX to stay competitive from a HP numbers standpoint. If GM is planning on utilizing the new 3.6L to directly compete with the 2.3, the thing I'm anxious to hear about is the tq output.
