    about those several years... the chevy cruze and sonic both have a 138hp/150lbft 1.4L turbo with a 6 spd manual. should sell some decent volumes.

    There you go! That's the powertrain for what I envision as STL-level cars in this country, very common in Europe. I'm not going to propose allowing these turbo engines into STL quite yet, but that's the direction I see as the future. - GA
