===Future of the 3800=== | ===Future of the 3800=== | ||
Production of the renowned 3800 V6 engine was officially ended on Friday, August 22, 2008 when plant 36 was closed. There was a closing ceremony and speakers who extolled the virtues of the engine, but none that could give a definitive answer why they did away with it. Originally GM had set this date for January 1, 1999 {{correction needed}}, however due to the vast number of complaints from both investors and customers because of the popularity and reliability of the engine, the date was extended. At the end of production, the [[GM_High_Value_engine#LZ4|LZ4]] 3500 OHV V6 will replace the naturally aspirated 3800 applications, and the [[GM_High_Feature_engine#3.6|LY7]] 3600 DOHC V6 will replace the supercharged 3800 applications. | Production of the renowned 3800 V6 engine was officially ended on Friday, August 22, 2008 when plant 36 was closed.
