If anyone would like to have a real discussion of global oil trade and US policy regarding oil and other fossil fuels I would happily do so in PM. Unfortunately all oil trade is political by nature and a real in depth explanation of most US policy would violate a ton of Camaro5 rules. The one thing I can say is that, in general, most US oil policy restricting use of oil/gasoline in any way has been passed with the intention of reducing oil dependency to dampen future supply issues from OPEC/OAPEC. |

These forums are indicative of opinions of current owners. They are less than targeted at potential owners of a yet-to-be-offered drivetrain option. If all GM did with new models was appeal to current owners their market base would fall apart with every new generation. It also seems that the first few pages, before the thread was overrun with bickering, had a pretty balanced sample with quite a bit of approval for a turbo 4. The fact that Ford is going to offer an ecoboost 4 and the success of the ecoboost 6 in the f150 are indicative of a very receptive market for turbocharged, smaller displacement drivetrains in what have historically been large-displacement vehicles. |

Now that your straw man has been incinerated, why not compare engines in the SAME vehicle against each other??? |

Another quality sidestep from the Captain. Being aware of, and recognizing trends in, oil trade and policy in the industry is quite literally my profession. You are wasting the time of everyone here because you make claims then refuse to support them because you are obviously incapable.

A big simple V8 making the same power will be inherently more reliable and have lower maintenance costs. Very desireable features for many people. |

With that I am done with this thread. It's going nowhere at incredible speeds and soon we'll be arguing about Flaming Hot Cheetos and their impact on geological exploration. |

The irony is that I agree with you that the problem stems from the fed. But it has a lot to do with them artificially holding down interest rates right now so that the masterminds can borrow more money for their spending addiction. We're due for a correction that is going to be quite painful. But my point before was that without all this meddling and calibrating the economy by what seem like complete hypocrites and morons, the economy would in fact be growing, not shrinking. |

You, on the other hand have a Musclecar, so you will be inherently biased and therefore cannot make decisions on your own. |
