What I'm saying is don't get rid of what makes American cars great, cause I and I'm sure others don't want a Chevy Camry or a Ford Accord.

You're acting as if turbo 4s will completely replace V8s. That's not what's happening at all. If turbo 4s are replacing anything, it's the V6 actually.
We still can't get a 4-cylinder to V8 levels of power without a lot of engineering and technology (which costs money). So the V8 is safe for the foreseeable future.

What happens when they they make the CAFE rules do arbitrarily high that nothing but 4 bangers and hybrids can do it? I think that's what they ( the govt) is after.

It's just progress. V8s will keep getting more and more powerful and so will smaller engines. 10 years from now, a GT might be hitting 500 HP and doing 30 MPG for all we know. And hybrids aren't always a bad thing. Case in point:

...does not matter...gas is bad, oil is bad, coal is bad, off shore drilling is bad, fracking is bad, XL pipeline from CA to US is bad....bad American's using such technology. Thing is we are almost energy independent and the nutjobs trying to keep us from doing it in office need to take a hike. So we take a so called high road while the rest of the developing countries...take China for example, dump the enviornment causing much more global harm than us? Futality, at our expense...

As Carroll Shelby initially called the Mustang a "secretary's car" maybe the 4 cylinder is a good move for satisfying all economies especially when gas prices go up.

Why not the turbocharged V6 from the CTS? 420 hp and 0-60 in 4.4? 16/24 mpg?

4 cyl with turbo would be okay....but there's nothing sweeter than listening to that v8 engine

Why buy a 4 cylinder sports car though? At that point doesn't a truck, Jeep (or SUV) or entry-level luxury sedan sound better? Or heck, buying a 10 year old car that still has it's original high-HP engine? |
