Why go with the DI 3.6? I never thought that wouldn't try to compete with the Mustang. It seems to me that they're trying to market this car to people in their 30's-50's that can afford a high dollar sports car and leaving the younger crowd out. GM is making a mistake here.
Lutz never anything like that!

The only thing i took from that interview is that GM is CONSIDERING puting a 4 cyl turbo as the base instead of a 3.6 v6 thats just as powerful.

Heh, i can see that cobalt pulling up to me thinking he can take me, and me blowing his arse off the road

As to premium pricing, i think its probably a bad word to use, i think the prices for the base versions will be reasonable, and after that you pay to play. But aint that always the way?
