I hope you are right! However, your statement about GM having to be totally crazy doesn't give me a warm fuzzy. They've shown their lunacy before - know anybody that has an '83 'vette? I'd love to see them do something like develop a super efficient DI V8 or V10 even. It seems that even Audi and BMW are going to turbo sixes now too. I guess we'll see...........
