So what would be so bad if they put an I-6, every one forgets the torque that can come from the inline block, (except some of us whom still keep trying to resurect them), and then put a five speed or even a corvette 6 speed, I think they they have engineers up there that can figure out how to get the ground speed, mpg's, and gearing, with todays tires. to make a workable configuration to do the job. If not then that maybe why detrroit is struggling to hang on to the market.
Now before I hear it this is not meant to bash detroit. I just think sometimes the engineers are just out of touch with the consumers real wants and needs. Then GM could posibly cut out many of the layoffs and take back some of their lost ground.
