basically its this, GM has proven countless times, time and time again, that they will go cheap and skimp out on content whenever they think they can screw the customer over on it. if they can even POSSIBLY get by with some cost cutting or lazy decision, that's what they do. Except for a Corvette etc. The only other aside is that they simply cannot motivate and get into action fast enough. example....the GXP G6, they are 2 years past intro on getting the 3.6 into it and THEN, when they do, they still don't have the manual set up for it, even though anyone who is considering buying that car with a stick wants the 3.6, not the 3.9. THEN, they claim its because there is no stick that can work with it, except its brother, the Saab v6, has a manual tranny that will probably bolt right up to it. So they flat out lie, to cover up being cheap.
Here's what will happen. GM will take its sweet time getting Camaro to market. THEN, they will cheap out on all sorts of content for the first two years, for various reasons, lazy, can't move fast enough, would rather pay for pricey union labor, old farts in charge....whatever they typically do. Then will lie their ass off to explain why the kick ass gorgeous new Camaro v6 is getting its ass spanked by a Mitsubishi Eclipse v6 or a VW GTI.
meh. its a sad tale, told over and over. this is their chance to wow us out of the box with a great v8 AND a great v6. they'll fk it up. I'm convinced of it.
