August 5, 201015 yr Highlights: -GM to invest $500 million in its Ramos Arizpe plant in northern Mexico to produce a new line of engines as well as a new vehicle. -the new line of engines are V-8's with SIDI -expected 9% improvement in gas mileage over current engines -Assembly of the vehicle, which wasn't named, is set to begin in the last quarter of 2011. Link to WSJ article The article interests me in several ways: 1) The obvious one: YOU UNGRATEFUL SOB'S. WE SAVED YOUR ****'S LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. WHY ISN'T THIS INVESTMENT BEING MADE IN THE U.S.?!? 2) This article must be referring to the gen-V family of small blocks (5.5l)? The only other V8 you could possibly consider is the Ultra-V8: but I think that thing is dead-and-buried. Just let it go man. 3) What is that unnamed vehicle? Buick Verona( <- I *hate* this name )? Chevrolet Spark/Beat?
August 5, 201015 yr It is where Theta-Epsilons are produced. So my guess is another SUV/CUV. I did not know Ramos-Arizpe was engine manufacturing capable.
