I have talked to so many people who have bought cars they didn't want but did so anyway because it gets pretty good gas mileage. They drive unhappy and only smile when they fill the tank.

That line of thinking ain't for me.
I wasn't suggesting that cars like these should be all that GM sells, or that we, as in enthusiasts should drive. My logic is that if more of these are produced, that would help GM continue to make the stuff we like, as in RWD V-8 toys, and yet be more capable at reaching these new CAFE standards. Making Hybrid SUV's and such is all well and good, but I doubt a full-size SUV is ever going to bring the average MPG down enough to justify the continued development of cars like the GTO/Monaro.
