That would be suspicion #1 for me.

#2 would be that it can't meet emissions standards as is.

#3, it can meet current emissions standards but it is close to the limit, and with states now reassured in their ability to set their own standards, tougher than the Fed's, GM doesn't think they will be able to sell it in enough states.

#4, it meets or exceeds all performance goals and runs clean as hell, but will be so damn expensive GM doesn't think they can sell it.

#5, it is a super-engine that can do everything, but GM is planning to close the factories capable of producing the engine and projected volume of this motor alone isn't enough to justify keeping any of the factories open.
