I think the $26B hit involves  Stellantis’ operations worldwide. The company has a very long list of HEV/PHEV and EV options in Europe, which is their home market.

They also changed the water pump itself which reduced failures.

Maybe GM feels they need a few more sales of their platform to amortize the C8 costs, so they're going to sell it to Genesis?   Doubtful they would sell their flagship like that, though...

Yeah, apparently the newer yellow coolant is supposed to protect the seals on the water pump a lot better, I've even heard some people claim it would strengthen those seals, but I'm not sure if that's possible. 

It was the regular 3.5 as well, like the one in my explorer. 

Oh.  Well nevermind then lol.

The water pump issue was all transverse 3.5L engines - turbo and NA.

Definitely wouldn't be the first time...     That's why these years-early "just wait 'til 2047, you'll love our upcoming lineup!!!!"-style announcements get old because so much changes between announcement and launch date.....and that's if the product even gets there, with cancellation being the rule rather than exception lately....

Well, we've heard for so long that Mustang's platform couldn't handle a sedan, etc. etc.....so if that's true, theoretically a clean sheet BEV version would be "easier" unless they're looking to replatform Mustang altogether with something that replaces the coupe/vert that has the capability of a sedan?     Agreed.  They're pushing Bronco, but not everyone wants one of those /want something more on-road oriented.   maybe the reported ICE Mach-E replacement will wind up being the Edge replacement?

You know, I haven't seen the (non-factory) wrap/sticker style "grille" around before, but that's a good idea...
