The world will never know. That type of survey is conducted specifically to get consumer feel for different vehicle configurations and content. It’s used internally to support or crash business cases and will never be “published”.

I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that along with whatever off-cycle credits that they may or may not qualify for that they do work for the current CAFE regulations. People get paid really good money to ensure that to be the case. The big deal will come in 2027 when new regulations for pickups and utilities kick in. The $850M investment in new V8 built in Flint is focused on addressing those changes to emissions regulations that kick in in 2027.

I very much doubt this. GM has pretty much slammed the door on doing anything hybrid in the US. Corvette E-Ray (and Zora?) being the only and obvious exceptions.

CAFE and individual vehicle contribution to CAFE isn’t planned on a this vehicle vs that vehicle basis. It’s more like multi-variable calculus. That stuff we swore we’d never need once we passed the final exam.
