Last time I checked, there are Solstice's on the road, and the Sky is due out in February.

I bet not, when people look at cars for performance they look for engine size.
And no offense, but this makes you sound very ignorant, although it could just be that you're too old school to get with the times. If the idea of taking the same engine block and vastly improving performance by introducing forced induction, whether it be through a turbo or a supercharger, is a waste of time to you, then I'm probably wasting my breath. However, you take any V8 that you want, and a measly 2.0L 4-cylinder that costs around 25K with another 10K under the hood will run laps around it. With new technologies, there's no need to have a 7.1L V8 under the hood to waste gas when you can make just as much power out of a much smaller engine. This isn't to say that I wouldn't gladly drive a new Z06 Corvette (in fact I might in 2 years), but it's very wrong to bat your eyes at the idea of FI.

woohoo
