Detroit: Obama's auto task force has been directed by the White House to cut emissions and boost fuel mileage of all GM cars by 25% starting in the 2011 model year. As a means to that end, Obama will announce that GM must cancel production of all V8 engines in passenger cars except the Chevrolet Corvette until Chevrolet can offer the Corvette with a smaller engine. The President's announcement is expected to be made upon return to the States from his G20 Summit in Europe. While no 2011 GM model year car (except Corvette) will have a V8, Obama is expected to make this rule go into effect by April fools day.
