"According to Fitzpatrick, less than three percent of Camaro sales were from those interested in the Corvette."
I'm part of that 3%!

Heh. I knew they were going to respond. Its one of the reasons I'm holding off on my order until this summer.
That said, I'm hoping they put the turbocharged version of the HFV6 that was debuted in the Regal GS concept. 320hp/320tq would be a nice improvement, plus the ease of upgrading an already turbocharged car. They might not - I mean, just a retune could get them the 2 hp they need to be in the lead again, but I've got my fingers crossed. - X

That said, GM is supposedly working on a twin-turbocharged version of the 3.0L SIDI V6 in the LaCrosse, CTS, SRX, Equinox, and Terrain...

The one shown at a press preview had the 2.8T in it...not sure what the other show cars ended up having.

Its good to see that GM isn't content with letting Ford pull ahead. They've got the resources to design anything they want, its just a matter of whether or not they want to spend the money to do it. It appears that the success of the Camaro is allowing them to do that. Hope it continues!

the Opel Insignia OPC has a 2.8 v6 turbo in it, that is the car the Regal GS concept is based on. I am crossing my fingers for a Regal GS or GSX with a turbo 6. a turbo 4 in a Buick is sacrilege.

Too late. Regal CXL Turbo has a 2.0T I-4.
