Automotive News' says Brand Manager David Schiavone offering a "V6 turbodiesel and twin-turbo gas V6" along with the SUV's standard 6.2 V8.

Apparently the smaller gasoline engine could potentially go into a "V-Sport" branded performance model. Is Cadillac trying to build an SUV that can compete with luxury 4x4s abroad and ass-hauling behemoths like the ML AMG and Grand Cherokee SRT?

What They Mean By 'Never Lift'
What They Mean By 'Never Lift'
Ever ever heard “when in doubt, throttle out?” Sure you have. Probably from a guy crushing a can of Bud Light on his forehead right before rolling his Jeep backwards down a hill. That said, there is truth to this ethos. As you’ll see here. I hadn’t heard of Jerry...
