Or how about this: Saturn offers a 4 cylinder Aura, and sales go up. Or: Chevrolet offers a manual only Cobalts XFE, and they sell 4 times as many as they thought they would.
And one more thing. If Cadillac could do a turbocharged engine, and I quote, "today", why are we not going to see a Beat for 4 years?

Excellent point.
If GM could do a 4-cylinder turbo CTS "today", why not offer it? If no one wants it, they can discontinue it. They have the engine for RWD configuration in the Sky Redline already, how hard would it be to put it into the CTS?
