Awesome. I'm starting to change to the mindset that a V8 (and the grunt/growl to go with it) might be more fun in a vehicle that normally wouldn't have an engine like that, even if it doesn't actually have the same numbers (handling and straight line) as a sports coupe with a V8.

If GM were to build a sport crew cab Colorado or Canyon with a V8 or turbo 6, I think I'd be ready to dump my current 16 Camaro and 15 Colorado crew (my daily) right now...and that's saying something.

If GM were to do the same in a full size truck, or say, the new Blazer I might also be in trouble lol. Maybe.

I will admit that part of this is due to the fact that am married with a 4 yr old and 11 mth old daughters. Finding time to appreciate my Camaro at this time in my life is nearly impossible, but dang I love that car.

I know that Dodge/Jeep offer certain solutions on this, but a huge full size SUV with a V8 just isn't enough to make me convert right now, and I'd much rather have a truck.
