According to a report out of China, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/cadillac/">Cadillac</a> is planning to add the 2.0-liter turbocharged, direct-injected Ecotec in-line four-cylinder as an option in the SLS sedan. The SLS, you'll recall, is an extended-wheelbase version of the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/sts">STS</a> built only for the Chinese market. The SLS will likely use the same 220 horsepower, 258 pound-foot version of the 2.0 turbo being installed in the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/regal">Buick Regal</a>/Opel Insignia. <br />
<br />
The 2.0-liter actually offers more torque than the 3.0-liter direct-injected V6 already offered in the SLS and nearly as much horsepower as the 3.6-liter, so it should be a viable option for the big sedan. Considering that most of these cars are purchased for executives to be driven around in, absolute performance and driving pleasure might as well take a back seat to running costs anyway, right? <br />
