General Motors Will Stick With Internal Combustion Engines Amid EV Expansion

[raptor5244]

A new Manual v8 will be long gone by the end of this decade. The V8s will be around in trucks and the Vette but those will certainly be auto.

If we're lucky the best we can hope for in a 3 pedal configuration is a 6cyl turbo, but it may very well be an 4cyl turbo.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to even get a V8 in a truck now. The starting price point for a V8 in a Silverado is over $50k now and that is just a run of the mill 5.3L EcoTec, with all the fuel economy crap (Start/Stop, AFM, etc.) that ruins it anyway. Move up to a respectable 6.2L for even more money.

It seems like they are pushing the 2.7L turbo I-4 now.

This would have been pretty cool if they built it...

Project now, I bought that truck, new special order in 95. nervous, as shit.....There was my clutch action, some 28 yrs ago and then some. Got some respect from a few SS454, Ford Lighting's etc... along the way. LOL. Always have loved cars.
