I know this is basically a cut and paste from another thread, but still...
Why not just go to a small V8? (Taurus SHO had a 3.4, and the last Tbird had a 3.9) TT that for some more efficient fun, and it'll still be a v8 for the purists, plus it'll be a lot smaller displacement for MPG, and TT could easily make up for the power. You put variable timing, tall high end gears, and DOD on a 3.5 V8, and you could get some rather good MPG numbers. Easily what most v6's are getting today.
I'd think that would be a best of both worlds. Have THAT be the mass produced GT, and have there be some special edition V8's like the Boss or Cobra that have the classic larger displacement engine. Have a 3.5TT v8 "GT", and a 5.0 Hurricane "Boss 302". Make the Boss a lot smaller production than the GT, and that should satisfy CAFE fairly well.

Thats not true at all...
CAFE standards are set to begin taking place in 2012, but cars will not be expected to fully meet the standards until 2020.
-Muscle cars are not dead! I dont care what the purists say, all the best muscle names are coming back on the market, Mustang, Camaro, Corvette, Challenger, Charger, so how can you say that?
Plus, who cares if the car has a V8 or not, as long as it sounds and performs like muscle, its muscle.
