Tell me where I can buy a brand new, GM, 2 door, RWD vehicle, with a stick, and decent power for around 20K.

This is why I buy small trucks. I don't tow with them. I almost never put anything in the bed. It's also why I buy the lowered versions.

Now if GM were to bring the Monaro CV6 here with a stick and sell it for around 23K, I would be very interested in that as a daily driver.

And don't tell me Mustang; I won't buy a Ford.

No it's not.

Just a 2.8L 4 cyl and 3.5L 5 cyl.

The I6 would have made a great engine for an extreme version.

Have they discontinued the extreme btw?

Maybe somebody else will chime in, but this was discussed a while ago. From what I remember, the I-6 wouldn't fit.

Yes, from what I understand, the I6 won't fit.

And the xtreme will still be available on the S-10, which will continue production in the Linden, NJ plant.

I believe I read something from GM where they said an xtreme package for the Colorado will be coming in the next year or so.

It is also my understanding that the I6 won't fit. But if it did.....what a cool and potent ZQ8 that would be.

I honestly think the turbo I5 as it was shown in the Bel Air concept would be a great basis for some wild modifications.
