They're all three EXACTLY the same cars with minor cosmetic differences.

their not changing anything, all their doing is adding a turbocharger to the current 2.0. The engines aren't assmbled at the plant. they get them shipped from GMPP and assemble the car at the plant with the engine already assembled

It's not as easy as you seem to think it is. Do you think GM just threw assembled 2.4 VVT's at Lordstown without training on how the installation goes? The one thing you need to remember is GM is all about the money.

The 2.0 turbo engine alone is more costly to produce than the 2.0 S/C. That's why they built the 2.0 S/C in the first place. It was more cost effective for an economy car.

1 in 10 cars produced at Lordstown is a G5. Of that 1 in 10, how many do you think would be a GXP model. I'm guessing 2 out of every 10 G5's made. That's going to equal less than 5000 cars a year.

Regardless, it would be nice to see a turbo G5/SS in the future.
