Cadillac is going back to having exclusive Cadillac engines that will be separate from the rest of GM. If the LT4 lives on in other cars, then it would only make sense to be in a Camaro (and SS sedan perhaps?). Regardless of whether or not engines like the LS7 continue in production, the real question is when the government standards get rid of all these engines altogether. For all we know, the base model 2.0T will be the only power plant available by the end of the decade.

That is the way this business is going. The Viper needs to concede to government regulations and its new ownership structure to stay in existence. It is only a matter of time for the V10 to become extinct. Enjoy it while you can.

Are they going to make a single cab/short bed model anytime soon? I'll take one of those with the 5.3L V8 from the Silverado.

My comment it not limited to just being snarky. The Government has the entire auto industry chasing its tail and being penny-ante with the MPG requirements that are MANDATORTY in 10 years. Add two more gears in a transmission, put some aluminum in the vehicle to reduce weight, and maybe there will be enough MPG to make the Government happy. If only you could legislate technological breakthroughs. Maybe Congress should pass a law making cold fusion viable. I see no change in the mass use of the internal combustion engine for the next 50 years. Trucks are built to haul things and go off-road. You can't properly quantify MPG on trucks when they are used for their proper ends. Under those conditions, that MPG average is a moving target and you cannot hold the industry responsible for the consumer consumption of fuel. Of course, the industry is just as guilty classifying certain cars as "trucks" to avoid the MPG stigma.
