The biggest reason we know the V8 isn't going any where is the existence of the Gen V V8. Development costs for a new generation LS V8 are huge. No company would make an investment like that if they were planning on not using them extensively for the foreseeable future.
This and then all they have to do is offer 12 different volt models. That'll raise the company average way up for the Vette's and the Camaro's.
