Agreed. Cadillac's announcement said that the new engine will be hand built. More argument for it to be built in Bowling Green. But if there were a 5.5L version of the engine, wouldn't it be produced along side the 4.2 for efficiency? I am not sure about that, but it makes sense to a layperson like me. If there were a new 5.5L DHOC TT engine, it would probably be low volume as well.
