More technology and "safety" makes them heavy, thus reducing fuel economy that smaller weaker engines are capable of getting. And the cars are still under powered and OVERPRICED!

Why would anyone want a 6 cylinder Camaro over an 8 cylinder???? Same question....same answers for a 4 cyl.?

I would drive a 4 cylinder Camaro as long as the appearance was kick ass! If it was all about performance, we would all be driving exotics.
How about a 4 cyl. turbo diesel that would be about 50MPG?

I would like to see the AFM on my wife's SS stay engaged longer on city/highway to see how much MPG increase it would allow. Not like the power isn't there to allow it to!

MPG doesn't matter anyhow since the less fuel Americans would use, the more expensive it would be per gallon. Greed sucks!
If it was all about gas mileage we would all drive Prius.
