I fear by 2025 if the gov't get's their way the V8's will be limited to trucks and 'muscle' cars will hold a turbo 4 banger. I think they are expecting 50+ mpg fleet averages.

Is that even true? I really doubt it. He said that a Ford technician told him this, but why would a Ford dealer tech even know about a deal of that magnitude? I am sure it would be a huge secret if it was true. Right?
I don't mean to start anything asking that, but I would kind of like to know.
I doubt Chevy would take a deal like that, that's like bending over and letting Ford do dirty things to Chevy.

Sounds like Ford Fan talk to me. No way would Ford give up profits and not pounce on a wounded prey if they could have.
