It has nothing to do with "stalwarts".
And seriously, what electric motor has soul? Are you kidding me? Come on man, you can't seriously be that out of touch.
I mean, I get if you want an automatic instead of a manual but without the sound, feel, and lumpy idle then what's the point? It ain't a Camaro man! Seriously!!
Again. Here we are, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant are ready to tear the house down and you show up with your Beethoven score.

LOL what "facts" am I missing on sales? Oh are you one of the folks that think a TV ad will make more profit for GM and they just aren't smart enough to realize it? Still can't believe someone on here was actually so violently angry over that point that called out my wife, her career in the auto industry in Marketing and her 2 degrees as not smart enough to know what everyone on this website seems to know, which is simply the purest form of internet. You don't agree with me so I discount everything you know and have done in your career. She laughed, she really did.
Never said the electric motor had soul. Ever.
But let's be very clear, I've done this for a living for a long time now. A vehicle is FAR more than what propels it. Of these, ride, handling, steering and braking are equally critical factors that must be balanced and do provide soul.
I can put an LT1 into a POS mobile that doesn't ride handle or brake well and you tell me how much soul it has. Zip, unless you like sitting in a parking lot revving your engine.
I can give you a 150 hp Miata and on a track, that will give you all the soul you could ask for.
You are just picking on one attribute of a great car, it's powertrain. Way more to it than that.
Also not sure what Page and Plant have to do with Beethoven other than they were all fabulous musicians and I'd sit through and enjoy a concert of either.
