Definitely a sign the world is changing, when GM and Ford share the same engine.

In the comments section they're saying April fools.
If it is true then whats the problem, means lower R&D costs and a bigger profit margin...something any car manufacturer needs at the minute.

"here’s also another advantage: Cost. The 4.5-liter V-8’s breakthrough design eliminated the intake and exhaust manifolds and other related components, saving weight, reducing size and lowering costs by up to an estimated $600 per engine versus a conventional diesel." rofl |
