Definition of "made" aside, I wonder what LS3 engine part/parts manufacture were shifted to Mexico from 2012 to 2013 causing the change in the listing? Not sure, but the manufacture of a part that was already foreign made could have shifted to Mexico giving them the nod. My '12 LS3 A6 is listed as USA.
Yes, I know it was assembled in Canada.

Apples to apples
So it's still possible that my United States on my window sticker means their United States but nobody would know anything about that haha
Sure sounds weird to have any C6 engine declared a Mexican origin.

I thought about making GM fix that under warranty, but if the 2012 models do it, that tells me they don't have a fix.
At least I only have to do it when ambient temp is < 65 deg F, and it only takes a couple of miles to warm up to the point where it goes away.

Does your 2012 model do this? My 2008 does and I just assumed they corrected it by 2009. I just double clutch mine on the 1-2 upshift when it's cold. We should not have to do that, but oh well. That does eliminate the crunching.

I believe GM has a document on this condition.
