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

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.
