Agree.

There's absolutely no reason to think that if the V8's in GM products are getting expensive, that other manufacturers won't be getting expensive as well.

Look at it this way. If Ford still offered a 450+HP V8 mustang for $35K, but for some stupid reason you can't get a V8 Camaro with the same power and performance for under 45 to 50K....which would the vast majority buy? I know you realize this, but what you have to also understand is that GM knows they must stay competitive with other makers, so they are going to offer an alternative at a similar price.

In a nutshell, if because of CAFE, GM can't put a standard N/A V8 into a Camaro at a price normal people can afford, then I don't see how Ford or Dodge will be able to either.
