Default New Gen 5 GM V8

For those of us looking for an engine, GM is introducing the new gen 5,
seems it will still be a pushrod OHV, but with direct fuel injection, as well as continously variable valve timing (how they do CVVT with pushrods is beyond me), fuel consumption for the 6.2 L will drop to 9l/100km or 26mpg in American speak, that is amazing, the LT1 version will produce 335kw and 610nm.

I was keen on the 6.2 gen 4 gen but was concerned about the heavy fuel usage, as much as 14,5 to 15 l/100km. This is the way to go. Lets hope they are not too expensive.
