Weight reduction is paramount. Look at our competitors, they can use smaller engines to power their vehicles b/c they are far lighter on average vs. competitive GM vehicles. Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, Nissan. Most lighter than GM, all crushing GM in power to weight ratio and fuel economy.
Why would anyone pay 25K for a Malibu Eco to get 37 MPG highway when they can buy a base Nissan Altima 2.5S for under 24K and get 38 MPG highway?
