In addition to the X platform, GM also created a new line of engines for the Citation and its sisters. The 2.8 L ''[[GM 60-Degree V6 engine#LE2|LE2]]'' [[V6]] was the first of the [[GM 60-Degree V6 engine|60°Family]] of [[Internal combustion engine|engines]] still in use today. The X platform was used in 1982 as the basis for the new [[front-wheel drive]] [[GM A platform (FWD)|A-body]] cars. The X platform was also the basis for the future [[GM L platform|L-body]] and [[GM N platform|N-body]] cars. | In addition to the X platform, GM also created a new line of engines for the Citation and its sisters.
