    Off topic but laughing how GM is marketing 5 cylinders like

    My first car had an inline 5. The old AUDI. I have been telling buys that GM is going to start put inline engines in thier smaller trucks and my friends all looked at me like I was on crack. Just wait till they bring the cyclone back. A turbo inline 5.

    I love how they have to send all thier salesmen back to school to sell the benefits of RWD now too. With Chrystlers 300 series and the new Chevy RWD sedans they have to convince people that RWD cars are not unsafe.
    Im now E30less.

      Werd to the 5000's. Those awesomely huge and tank-like 5000's. And I'm glad GM is taking this route. And I would definitely like to see a new Cyclone. They made a concept Turbo Trailblazer which they were calling the new Cyclone/Typhoon, but that was 2 years ago...

        They are going to be marketing a diesel in this I5 also. Heck Volvo is getting 300hp out of there I5 now in the V70R and the S60R models.

          Yeah, everyone has it drilled into their heads that FWD is so much better, safer, and easier to drive. RWD is easier to drive I think. I'd much rather be in control on my car then have my front end start drifting to the outside of a turn because it would rather understeer instead of oversteer.

          FWD isn't bad - but RWD definately not dangerous, as long as you have a person that knows how to drive behind the wheel. :roll:
