I'm not sure I see 4 bangers as being the answer for the American manufacturers either. I mean, we don't exactly produce world class 4's, especially in comparison to the Japanese. They have some beautiful smooth, quiet, high-tech engines that are producing insane amounts of HP and torque for their econo-boxes no less, while we still have noisy, push-rod, 4's with no power pushing our cars around.
Maybe by 2007, Detroit will finally have a world class 4 or 6 cylinder that would be ready.
Bob, I'm not sure Gen X would agree with your assesment of performance being only V-8's, as GM had to discontinue it's baby-boomer Camaros and Firebirds due to lack of sales...
