The CTS-V will get the LT4 and, for GM, the LT1 will power the Alpha Camaro, initially.
The L A Auto Show reveal for the ATS-V will be an event worth watching.

I agree with JOE. As much as I would love to see it done the good ole american way by stuffing a big V8 in it, I don't think that the market they are going for would go for that. They want to be able to say our main competitors have turbo 6ers, fine we will beat them with our turbo 6.
