But here's the reality here guys. We have all sat by idly while the big global warming drum has been pounding for years. CAFE standards are government standards, these are things that GM has to follow. It's not a choice for GM. So I dont understand all the anger expressed at GM's "direction" that they're heading.

If you love your V8 powered muscle cars, buy a 5th gen and keep it forever, because the more strict the world gets on vehicle emissions, the faster the death certificate for the V8 will be handed out.

Im sure there will be v8 cars available in the eco-friendly future for the insanely rich though!
GM just has to offset the V8s with more efficient vehicles, it won't be a problem. Anyway, in another 20-30 years electric motors will start taking over, and I am looking forward to having a monstrously powered electric sports car.
