Replying to: joey2brix (Aug 23, 2007 12:19 pm) I believe that Suzuki builds the GM 3.6L under license in Japan for their own XL7, but units in GM branded vehicles are mainly built in NA. The engine is a GM unit, not a Suzuki unit, by origin. If the Torrent GXP gets the Suzuki-built version, I could understand that, since they are shipping them to the plant at CAMI for the Suzuki XL7. However, the same engine (more or less) in the Aura, Vue, Outlook et all, G6, etc, is not built in a Suzuki plant. I'm going out on a limb in thinking that I saw Mexico on the window stickers of some of these cars with this engine.

GM makes the 3.6L DOHC VVT engines in Canada, but shipe those to the US. Mexico makes the 3.5 and 3.9L engines.
