What's relevant here is that Al designs the car, and you guys have nothing to do with it. So his comments carry weight and yours are meaningless.

1.
That GM will not have a turbo 4 replace the V6 and Al will fight to keep all cylinder options available. Adding a turbo 4 in addition to V6 and V8 options is not losing anything, but gaining more flexibility in sales. How did I ignore it? You just aren't bothering to read that as anything other as anything other meaning other than no 4 cylinder.
2. He's the chief engineer. His responsibility is to achieve the design goals. He doesn't get to pick what those goals are. If ones of those goals are international sales, you can bet there will be a 4 cylinder.
3. You ignore all my other points. In the end we are making assumptions based on speculations and hearsay. No one has proof yet of anything.
