Look for down sized motors with turbo's from everyone starting in 2017, and a lot of the bigger motors to be gone from the line-ups in 2018. That's to the feds.

V8's will live with GM. Their v8 reaches 29mpg .
Plus they're the v6 and turbo that hits wellover 30mpg
The fuel effociency of GM probably supersedes 90% of all car companies.

I would take those rumors with a big grain of salt. Don't believe those rumors until you actually hear something from GM themselves. The mid engine corvette rumors have literally been coming out for decades now.

I feel you. For some it's gonna take a while. I'm a former GM owner. I'm loving it like crazy but I'm a skeptic. Truth be told electric steering has hindered me from purchasing anything. I DESPISE THAT NEW TECHNOLOGY with all my guts. It's made sports cars lifeless. 30% of the sensory experience is gone. It outages me. And the media can't brainwash me into believing it's as good as hydraulic. I drive hydraulic every day. I know what I'm missing out on the second I drive electric steering cars.

Yeah my C7 is giving me a little better mileage than my Z did even with 2 extra cylinders, +130 hp, +200 tq. The rest of GM's lineup will help bring the avg mpg up across the brand.

It's my first GM car and I have no real complaints yet. In terms of driving experience, the car is phenomenal. Gonna have tons of fun with I at ZDayZ next week.

Looks like we can take it with much more than a grain of salt.

Yeah but there's a moving prototype bruh. Not just sketches are parts bin junk put together as a pseudo concept. It's out and testing. That's sick. And there's just a lot more chatter. Real type chatter. I feels it in my bones.
