Bye Bye To The American V-8...

This is what Lutz said two years ago:

Loss of Saturn can do nothing good for GM and making CAFE as a smaller company. So for a new much smaller GM to achieve it (CAFE) something is gonna have to give.

Chevy dealer I visited last night had loads of AVEOS on the lot - but not one Camaro.

Chevy will not make CAFE selling Aveos.

Again...not good for our V8.

At least our local dealer has 2 Camaros. They do have a sh*t ton of Aveo's, but I'm not buying one of those things. No one with a brain is in charge of GM. They are dumping Pontiac and it is the third highest sales (by volume) at GM.

New CAFE standards will favor the established import car companies as they will not need to shead core brands that help them meet CAFE like GM will.

Again IMO.. the GM buyer wants an American car or truck. They want it big with a big engine.

My fear is that our car companies are being "social engineered" right out of existance. My opinion...
