I remember the 4.3L V6 debuting in 1985, but Chevrolet first V6 based on the small block V8 was a 200 cubic inch version that debuted in the downsized 1978 Malibu. It was upsized to 3.8L in 1980 229 cubic inches (full size cars still had the 250 inline six as standard for 1977 through 1979), which was standard in the full size models and then upsized again in 1985 to 4.3L. I remember having driver's training in a late 70's Malibu with the 3.3. It could barely go up a hill.

The RWD X body Phoenix did have a base 2.5L Iron Duke some of the years, which I hope this one did not have. The 231 V6 would have been adequate.

I won't be surprised if CT6 moves to Lansing with CT4 and CT5, but I also won't be surprised if the car is just dropped because it has sold so poorly. People with the income to buy new cars just want SUV's, crossovers, and 4 door pickups.

Or a 1980 to 1991 Cadillac Deville, Fleetwood, or Brougham ( or even the 1980 to 1984 Oldsmobile 98 or Buick Electra) and put a 6.2L V8 in it.

I saw a Continental last week at the Ford dealer. It had no more presence than a Camry. It isn't wide enough. I am sure it is much more pleasant to drive with the Ecoboost V6's. I don't understand why Buick will sell the Insignia here again as a Regal. If it were up to me, Cadillac would drop the ATS and CTS, redesign the XTS, and have the CT6 and XTS replacement as its sedans, with 3 crossovers and the Escalade.

The allpar insiders think the Autoline article is wrong. I think the Jeep brand may have plateaued in recent months, based upon the sales figures.

2017 Jeep Compass Replaces Two Models With One: Comments
ehaase replied to William Maley's topic in LA Auto Show
One rumor on Allpar is that the Cherokee will move to the Giorgio platform when redesigned. Apparently, there will be no more products on the CUSW platform (excluding the Pacifica and maybe a large crossover which supposedly are loosely based upon CUSW).- 27 replies

This is old news because the website allpar has been reporting for months that the LX will last until the 2021 model year. Also, LX has a few parts from the Mercedes E class, but I have read that it has more parts from the LH platform.

Alfa Romeo's Future Product Plan is Up in the Air :Comments
ehaase replied to William Maley's topic in Alfa Romeo
Around 2009, I said here that Chrysler should go out of business, and a poster named 427SS gave me a severe cursing. Anyway here is good article by respected European journalist Georg Kacher - http://www.automobilemag.com/news/fca-running-money-revive-maserati-alfa-romeo/- 15 replies

Dodge News: Dodge Challenger To Get AWD Option, Widebody Hellcat for 2017
ehaase replied to William Maley's topic in Dodge
allpar says the LX lasts until the 2021 model year, when Charger and Challenger move to the Giorgio platform. It looks more and more like the 300 will be gone after the 2020 model year. allpar also says the Cherokee will probably eventually move to the Giorgio platform, and the CUSW platform will be history.- 31 replies

Cadillac Naming Convention, Time to Show your Marketing Mastery!
ehaase replied to G. David Felt's topic in Cadillac
Rename CT6 Deville. Rename CTS Seville. Obviously call any sedan more expensive than CT6 (Deville) the Fleetwood. Drop ATS. If they keep it, they can call it Cimarron or Series 62 for all I care. Keep Escalade. I don't care what they call XT5 and future crossovers.- 17 replies

Industry News: Sedan Sales Are Sliding and it Could Get Worse
ehaase replied to William Maley's topic in Industry News
Because of the decline in sedan sales, I think GM should consider dropping the Sonic and Impala and Cadillac should have only one or two sedans at most. At Buick, I would have dropped the Regal instead of the Verano, but Buick also needs no more than two sedans. Ford probably can get rid of the Fiesta and Taurus. I fully understand why the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 are going away. I don't think the sedan market is coming back, and people will just buy smaller crossovers when gas prices go up.- 23 replies
