..but way ahead of any of it's competition. (Personal experience demonstrates the 450+hp will delivered 23-27 mpg. Yes, Scott the best of both worlds - Honda mileage if desired or 0-60 in 3.6 with 1-2 mpg. )


Porsche tried to change their formula for success with the introduction of the 928 and 924/944 series in the 80's. Thankfully, they realized the mistake and return to their original plan and have not diverge from this path (excluding SUV) since.

I see no reason for GM to follow the beat of another drummer when their present plan is true to their past and success.
