Makes sense...

I suppose we will have to wait and see.

I still don't understand Cadillac using the Blackwing moniker on these vehicles. Why change the lineup names in the first place? These cars were never going to get the BW engine. What was the purpose? It is mind-numbing.

From what we're hearing, it sounds as if GM is much more interested in going all-electric, rather than finding another vehicle for the Blackwing TT engine. They only wasted millions ($$$) on engineering, design and development for a mere 2 MY's of use.
