Someone read the rumor on CF and re-posted it.

An Internet echo... echo... echo... echo...

I got reliable information from a guy that knows a guy whose sister used to date the son of a retired janitor at a GM plant that they are going to bring back the Fiero and bring back the Iron Duke engine and call the car the Corvette II

You can bank on it. I just posted it on the internet so it has to be true.

Otis an on going dream for buyers who can not make the money they need to own a Corvette. It is a pipe dream in my opinion.

You mean CTS. No information on the ATS-V is released yet, or even for the CTS-V, but continuing the trend of SC V8 in the larger car is likely.

Rumor is the ATS-V will end up with the TT 3.6L, but the other option would be the N/A LT1.

It is also very likely that the DOHC twin turbo V6 is neither cheaper nor lighter than the LT1, and as such doesn't really lend itself to a low cost (and suggested lighter) Corvette. Plus I am not sure it would even fit under the C7 hood.
