GM polling customers about engine options, including hybrid V8 and 4 cylinder
What do you guys think?

The sad part is the inclusion of hybrid power, shows you where it's going.
It like the 2.7 truck motor ....... in a truck |

Don't kill the 6 for some crappy 4 cylinder. Slap the twin turbo 6 in for an extra Four G's that would be money well spent

$4k for an extra 90 HP on the hybrid V8 really isn't bad.

About time they killed the V6. With the 4 turbo, that engine has become completely irrelevant. I’m all for a hybrid V8 though! If they can find a way to get the electric motors to power the front wheels, without going midengine, then that would be incredible.

They need to worry about 2019 front bumper options.

I'd be happy with the 2.7 turbo!

Why too funny how you are receiving the surveys and I am not. I have spent over 250k in 3 years on GM vehicles.

I know it's heresy but if that 4 cylinder hybrid is a plug-in that can run off purely electric power when needed, that sounds pretty attractive.
The v8 hybrid doesn't sound like a good deal to me and it'd only make the car already way more expensive when sales might be hurting due to price as-is. I think the v8 should be left alone and offered as an alternative to the 4 cylinder hybrid. Ie: You'd pay the same price for a hybrid 4 or natural v8. Perks of the former are fuel economy. Perks of the latter are probably better sound and 0.4 seconds faster. I think people would naturally gravitate to what they want and you'd capture a good cross-section of the performance market by offering both and keeping it within a reasonable price. And then, if it turned out sales of the hybrid were way higher than expected, offer the hybrid v8 in a future model year and see what the demand is. You'd have to tread carefully because this encroaches on ZL1 territory performance-wise, unless they would plan to offer it in the ZL1 and phase out the supercharged v8.

I filled out this survey that was emailed to me. Pretty short and sweet. V8 or 4 cylinder. No brainer for me.

Either they kill the V6 or the V8. It’ all about emissions. The Hybrid is just the consequence. Look at the Porsche Panamera E- Hybrid it is a fantastic sport / sedan car. Sooner or later we will have in all engines a hybrid or just pure e-power.

not really sold on a hybrid motor, an additional 90HP for 4k is nice.
Whats the weight of the batteries to produce an extra 90HP? If my batteries need to cool down/drained, am I just lugging extra weight? I'll take my v8+supercharger combo. Low maintenance, more power gain, power when I need it, cheaper overall.
