The assertion that GM was copying their design from Audi and BMW was just ignorant to me. GM has had experience with turbo motors since at least the 70's. To think they couldn't design something like this on their own doesn't make sense especially when they used a similar design before the BMW/Audi designs were introduced to the market.
I'd put them over the the Japanese Big 3 and Ford/Chrysler in terms of engineering power. In terms of top to bottom, only VW, BMW, and Mercedes can really compete in sheer ability. They have to design everything from hybrids, to pickups, to sportscars and everything in between. And right now, I think they are doing a damn good job of it especially the sport/performance cars. And its not that they are just fast, the Impala, ATS, Camaro and most likely the C7 and CTS will be among the top driving cars in their class as well.
Just my opinion though. You don't have to agree. That's why we have forums.
