The quote that caught my eye, which I took the liberty of commenting on below the article:

Quote:

...because the engine under the hood will be based on the same one that powers the much larger Cadillac Escalade.

Hmm.

What are you guys looking at me for?

I posted a message up there politely saying "your wrong, and here's why".

The L92 is still a Generation IV motor. The one that's "well-north of 450 hp" is the prototype Generation V motor. It was put in an escalade - but not the production version. It was a test dummy vehicle. The only real, hard evidence I've seen to date is the article I posted about "GM reveals small-block with Direct Injection".

This mag author doesn't know what he's talking about, or is just a poor writer, for taking things completely out of context.

I'm betting your quote in my sig threw him off to who posted the OP is.
