In case the Camaro doesn't work out for me (God forbid) something like that would have been my ideal backup, but it doesn't look like we'll get that now.
Okay, what about the direct injected CTS engine? How 'bout a direct injected AFM engine with +-400 horses that gets 30 mpg? What's that? How 'bout the Volt? That one gets... well, plugged in! Who the hell cares about a V6 when you can get maximum torque the second you hit the gas! Well, whatever the case, we're all entitled to our own opinions, eh? Fortunately for us, opinions mean jack when there are facts to back whatever the opinion is arguing against.
