25 5VBW Easter Egg

[Finally-a-V]

@TX_RJ ....thank you for a much better picture

I figured the citation would be GMA. Absolutely worthless article that is nothing more than hyperbole about the "significant mid-cycle refresh" and a who gives a shit parking package that is now standard.

If the omega on the 25s symbolizes the end of the V8 AND a 26' model is coming. Obviously this can only mean one thing, Cady is about to drop a NA V10 on us! Allegedly they're one of the F1 manufacturers supportive of the idea of bringing back the V10. Tell me you wouldn't buy one in a heartbeat!

It's definitely an omega symbol...

Yes, that's a much better picture, I see it now. Thanks.

Wow. I wish you wouldn't hold back and could just tell us what you really think. LOL

Literally anyone who might want those features and is planning to pick one up used in a few years. Makes it a LOT easier to find what you're looking for if you're not looking for as many add on packages.

According to the press release referred to above, this:

... Parking Package (RPO code Y6L) as standard equipment. Previously offered as a $710 option for the 2025 model year, this package incorporates a few notable enhancements, such as (relevant RPO codes listed in parentheses):​

• Air filter (K6L)
• Air quality sensor (USK)
• Rear Camera Mirror (DRZ)
• Hands-Free Decklid Release (TL3)

has me a bit confused. I'm too literal, because when I see "parking package" I wonder what/why in the world it would include an air filter. And me personally, although I haven't driven a car with one, I have seen that rear camera mirror thing and I think it's horrible, hideous and some other word starting with H.

Anyway... congrats on the almost-here new car, Truckee. I doubt that an extra 30 horsepower would even be noticed, unless they also bumped up the torque, and even then, when can you use it, really? I don't track my car (I have another one for that) and on the street we can rarely use all of the power anyway. Not to say that I don't want it, but honestly, these cars are a bit of overkill. But I love it.

For those of us on the West Coast the air filter is a great addition for when Forrest fires are raging!

If GM doesn't actually get the $500M government grant to retool the East Lansing plant, maybe the Blackwings will continue to ride...

Vance won't commit to $500M federal grant for building EVs at Michigan auto plant

The Biden administration has committed $500 million toward revitalizing a Michigan auto plant. JD Vance won't say if Donald Trump will stop it.

Rogers says $500M grant for building EVs at Michigan plant shouldn't move forward

"I think it’s a bad investment. We ought to step back and let the market fix this," Mike Rogers said of a $500 million subsidy for General Motors Co.

GM doesn't seem all too bullish on EVs if they're selling their stake in the East Lansing battery plant:

Heck at this pace, we could see them restart Camaro production.

700+ HP for the 26s!? Has this been confirmed from a reliable source? A different tune possibly to squeeze another 30+ HP? If true, I wonder if it would be a noticeable difference........

Wow kind of cool if they did that. Very sad if it’s the end though. If you told me in 2006 that Cadillac would be the last manual transmission, supercharged V8, rwd cars made I’d have thought you were crazy haha

I highly doubt it. No way they would spend money on re-certifying emissions for 30hp. If they were going to do it, they would have done it for the 25MY with the other changes.
