The Gen V V8 engines are supposed to have Direct Injection, but I believe they are currently on hold due to lack of funding
Exactly Plus I have issues even thinking about putting any forced induction on an engine with almost 12:1 compression ratio, at least on one that will run on pump gas

Believe it or not, these things happen...its not some big conspiracy or the suits at GM trying to screw over the consumer

Delays of any kind are not something either a customer or GM wants.

GM doesn't get paid until a vehicle ships to a dealer and thus can be invoiced.

No one is happy or gains anything when delays happen.

Shipping a vehicle that exceeds expectations is still very much the key ingredient.

I didn't mean it like that. I ment like... lets say your wife tells you to clean the yard, and you say your gonna do it the following week. But you know that your not gonna do it next week, its just the earliest you would think about doing it.

How about we state the obvious... Why is it possible that a few remaining run-off impalas which will be sold with huge incentives hold up one of the most popular colors for the new camaro?

That's just a pathetic management decision - obviously I'm not blaming this on GM's upper management but someone really needs to be knocked upside the head!
