Cadillac has never designed or manufactured a V6.

Break down on there engine history.

1902-1908 1 cylinder engines
1905-1914 4 cylinder engines
1930-1937 12 cylinder engines
1930-1940 16 cylinder engines
1934-1936 8 cylinder engines (inline, La Salle only)
1915-present V8

314 cid, 341 cid, 353 cid, 322 cid, 346 cid (some sort of tank variation to my knowledge WWII), 331 cid, 365 cid, 390 cid, 429 cid, 472 cid, 500 cid, 425 cid, 368 cid, 4100, 4500, 4900, 4.6 N*, 4.4 N*

I think I missed two in there somewhere. Oh well. These are only ones that where in a Cadillacs.

I guess the move makes sense business wise. Dropping the Northstar means that GM will only be making and developing two variations of engines in the V8 catagory (sbc and bbc). This should cut cost across the bord for them.

What makes me sad is that Cadillac will no longer be a Cadillac. The will just be rebadged somethings from across the world. Not that this is not what they where already doing but rather the nail in the coffin for a true Cadillac.

With the wide spread push of this new HF V6 that is out I guess I am not sure why people would buy a Cadillac. Nice, luxurious but you can/and will be able to get different badged cars with the same thing in the present/future and save quite a bit of money. No more orginality, seems like more slumping sells for Cadillac in the future. Reminds me of Oldsmobile in a way. Guess GM just doesn't learn things the easy way.
