Are you going to offer a V6 or V8 on the Kappa platform?
This platform, as has been stated before, was designed around the Ecotec 4 cylinder family of engines. This is not new news, Doug Parks (previous Chief Engineer), Mark Reuss, and Bob Lutz have stated the same thing in the press over the last two years. The current structure does not support a V6 or V8 in a production environment without substantial modification. Obviously, aftermarket companies like Werks, Archie, and Mallett have shown that a V8 can be stuffed in, but I suspect if you ask any of them, it is not a "bolt in" "weekend" job (or it would be a lot less expensive to do). The resulting clearances are very tight and would make some of our packaging people cringe.
