Default Customer Engine Build Program cancelled

I just saw this in the Deletions for 2018:

"(PBC) Customer Engine Build Program"

I wonder why this was cancelled. Everyone who did it here seemed to love it, and thought it was a great experience.

My guess is that it will back in 2018/19 once the new "paint shop" is up and running.

And once they can unwrap that room, there's some secret stuff starting to happen in there....the question is when it will open up again I think, it should come back.

GM is in the process of spending $44 million expanding the current Performance Build Center. The engine build experience has to be suspended for a while accommodate the expansion work AND to keep people from seeing some of what is happening in the PBC related to future engine products.
