Cadillac CT6 and the C8
Just read news report that Cadillac president said it was misreported that the CT6 was going away. The plant where it is built is going away. They could either import the CT6 from China or find another location to build it.
Could Bowling Green become the new home of the CT6 with it being built along side the C8? Would think that there is room there for the dual production.

Doubt it. The BG plant is going to be used for the FE C8, the ME Zora, and a Cadillac FE GT car based on either the C7 or C8 platform.
@ryryokeefe Did this overlay of the patent images of the Cadillac coupe over a C7.
If this Cadillac coupe does happen, it would be very unlikely that it gets it's own platform, and judging by how well it lines up with the C7...
This is just further proof of the 2 car (ME and FE Corvettes) theory.

There’s actually a less powerful Blackwing variant slated for a low-tier CT6.
Anyways, plan on the CT6 being produced in Lansing alongside the Camaro, CT5, and CT4.

Correct, it is a detuned Balckwing. That engine is also going to make it's way into other Cadillac vehicles beside the CT6. BG is going to be busy.

2.0LTurbo 237 HP
3.6 NA V6 335 HP

the first two are available in the two lower level trim options. The 3.0 is standard on the two top trim levels.

I think it is rude to provide false info. As previously stated, there is a detuned version of the Blackwing with 500 hp and 553 lb-ft in the Platinum trim level.

I believe that Mark Reuss said they were exploring the idea of either importing the CT6 from China or moving the USA CT6 production to another USA plant. I doubt the ultra poor sales of the CT6 will warrant it being saved for the USA market.
I don't believe anything is final about saving the CT6 for the USA market..
