I asked about the possibility of a turbo-charged 4 or 6 in the future to keep up with the performance of the small block and give the MPG required by the government in the next decade... no answer. Oh well. Interesting read.

GM's working on a brand-new 2.0T for the Alpha platform as we speak, as well as the upcoming 3.0L LF3 Twin-Turbocharged V6, plus the Gen V V8s with DI are right around the corner.
