Sorry...might have gotten a little off-track. Anyhow, we were talking about GM doing things the European way. S2000toIS350 (apparently) felt the new Corvette needed a Euro-style engine without pushrods. I used the smaller Buicks/Opels to point out an example of GM already doing some things the Euro-way, though I didn't think that the average Corvette buyer (who is strongly conservative, automotively-speaking) would necessarily want them to go in that direction with the Corvette. And, of course, Opel was sold off.....so the new Regal may (?) be the last of the Opel-sourced Buicks we see.

The pushrod corvette engine is awesome. Anyone who has driven one will agree.

I never said it wasn't awesome
It just lives outside the norms of the current supercar parade
if the General wants to play vs Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, etc. a DOHC mill is on the checklist

I would kill to drive a new Yukon or Escalade with the monster 6.2. Seriously considering dropping the planned GX460 as our next vehicle for one of those, taking the reliability hit and all, just to get a GM truck with that engine.

A corvette forum user is claiming to have inside info in regards to pricing and the car being revealed at NAIAS. Needless to say the pricing discussion isn't going too well.
