THe motor isn't new. Its new to the car. Its the same motor in the Cadillac DeVille and Seville.

It has the NorthStar in it?

[quantum110]

Yeah Dyke, they just decided to use a detuned Northstar, instead of hikeing up the price to much (although i've still heard something like upwards of $38k) for that new 4.4L they were talking about.
