The new CAFE regs probably won't entirely kill passenger-car V8s, but you won't see many models left with them.

All well and good (and I commend them for trying), but 30-MPG vehicles can only go so far when you have a CAFE standard coming up that will average over 50.


Anyhow, everything else aside, guys................I agree this is one heck of a nice car.
That's what Volt's and Cruze diesel's are for
