Anyone expecting General Motors (GM) to slot in its ‘stillborn’
4.5-litre V8 turbodiesel into the 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Cadillac
Escalade full-size sports utility vehicles (SUVs) is disappointed.
Instead,
The General took the low road and announced these vehicles would carry the well-tried
5.3-litre and 6.2-litre EcoTec3 V8 engines and six-speed transmissions. This is
the same line-up the company introduced in the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC
Sierra.
But this
may not be the end of the story. For surely GM cannot afford to write off all
the engineering expertise it poured over a number of years into the compact V8
diesel it shelved just prior to its 2009 bankruptcy and reorganization.
