Re: GMC going downhill?

I doubt if the 35 mpg will pass, it's way too big of a jump from current standards and people love their SUV's. The V6 Camaro thing is a natural though, and already expected. I've got a V6 '05 Mustang and it's got plenty of poop for most people. The high performance engines will sell in smaller quantities, but there's more profit margin in them for GM.

All it means is they will have to product cylinder shut off technilogy(sp). wait they all ready have that.

The thing is you only have to produce the capability to get 35mpg. Everyone knows you almost never hit it. A least I never do the way I drive.

It's really not too much to ask. 35mpg is easy. civics can do it.
