Cafe MPG is not equal to EPA MPG. 37.5 CAFE MPG i believe comes out to about 28 EPA MPG, which I think is well within reach for the V6, and not outlandish for a v8.

Well I just spent $5000 of my ZL1 money on a 3rd gen 1le. I need to increase my savings to make sure I can buy a new 5th gen ZL1 before the 6th gen comes out.

my LS1 gets 28 hwy and is 10 years old...i think they should consider a TT LS1 in the next gen..if they can add direct injection and vvt to it, it will have plenty of power and fuel mileage.

We probably should start looking at the Hyundai - Genesis Coupe foot print of 3,400 lbs, 182" long and 111" wheelbase. It seems the Camaro and Mustang are heading in that direction. Maybe this is more inline (sure the wheelbase is much shorter) with the original pony; '64 Mustang.
I wonder if the Challenger will stay with the 300/Charger platform. There's certainly not enough sales for it's own smaller platform. Does Dodge have a small RWD platform?

I also agree a T-Top should be in order. If the design has a single piece side glass with a wrap-around back window (shades of Gen2). Then this should be feasible. Probably would also address the current visibility concerns. The downfall is probably not being able to also incorporate a convertible model.
