No way I'd buy that junk!

I sympathize with them in that they need to have models that are fuel efficient; Thus the smaller motors. In reality some of their smaller motors are quite good, such as their 4 cyl. turbos. However, with a pickup its a natural to have one with a v8. IMO there is nothing that can take the place of the feel of a potent v8 with a big body car or truck. It is really a good time for GM with their large truck and SUV lines. However, I implore them not to get too drunk on the profits. GM needs a well-rounded array of vehicles to stay competitive in the business. They should not ignore the car and sedan lines that they once excelled in.
