I thought I would kick off the LGX section now that we've seen the performance numbers. Hopefully we'll start seeing some bolt-ons real soon.

• The 3.6 liter V6 LGX engine is GM’s new high-feature V6 engine. It is a clean-sheet design and shares little with the 3.6L six-cylinder LFX engine it replaces.
• The LGX sets benchmarks for efficiency, refinement and durability compared to the LFX it replaces. LGX highlights include:
• Aluminum deep-skirt cylinder block from the LFX mill
• An enlarged bore of 95 mm (compared to 94mm on the LFX)
• Enlarged bore centers of 103mm (compared to 106mm on the LFX)
• An all-new cylinder head design
• A forged steel crankshaft
• High-strength connecting rods and pistons
• Oil-spray piston cooling
• Active Fuel Management (cylinder deactivation) and Auto Stop-Start system generate fuel savings of 9 percent compared to the 3.6L V6 LFX
• Improved Variable Valve Timing (VVT) with an ‘intermediate park’ feature
• Reshaped piston tops to promote a better mix of the air and fuel during the direct injection process
• Relocated oil pump under the cylinder block and inside the oil pan
• Acoustic engine cover
• Stronger, stiffer aluminum block with increased structure in the bulkheads for superior rigidity
• Tough, refined rotating assembly with a stiff forged-steel crankshaft, friction-reducing polymer-coated pistons and strong high-copper-content, sinter-forged connecting rods
• New four-cam phasing system with intermediate park technology that enhances efficiency by enabling late inlet valve closing in certain conditions
• All-new, patented “targeted” cooling system that provides strategic cooling of the engine’s hottest areas while simultaneously fostering faster warm-up to enhance efficiency
• New, higher-flow cylinder heads that enhance direct injection performance and feature integrated exhaust manifolds
• Revised, simplified timing drive system with cushioned chain sprockets contributing to quieter engine operation
• All-new lubrication system with a variable-displacement, two-stage oil pump that enhances efficiency. It is located inside the oil pan, which contributes to greater noise abatement
