I wondered if it was a DND sponsored effort to turn what was supposed to be a "tank trainer" into something with some teeth? Or if it was GM's in house idea to perhaps market the vehicle to other countries? Did anyone ever see one in the flesh? Wonder what happened to the prototypes?

90mm AVGP Cougar FSV
This was a General Motors Defence Canada attempt to improve the "exportability" of the AVGP family. It's a completely new turret with the new gun.
While the 6x6 wasn't exported to any degree by GM Defence Canada, the CMI turret/gun combination was later sold to Saudi Arabia mounted on a GM Defence 8x8 platform. Quite an effective gun with a full range of ammunition and still in production today. http://www.army-guide.com/eng/product517.html
