Leave it to GM to consider so quickly cutting one of the few vehicles it makes that merit attention from the performance enthusiast. As an earlier poster noted, if rear-wheel drive is such a taxer on fuel economy, how come BMW (and others) are able to have their entire lineup based around it? I understand that the economy is down, times are tough, and cost-cutting is a necessity, but, must GM remove the "fun to drive" factor from all its cars? As one who cannot afford a Corvette, a CTS, or even the G8 GT, I would be thrilled to be able to purchase a RWD G6 (or even smaller sedan) with a turbo 4-cylinder. I guess I'll be looking elsewhere.

While this idea may be appealing for potential application to teenagers, what happens when a government (federal, state, local, or otherwise) decides they would like to MyKey all of our cars to prevent excess speed and fuel consumption? This is an extremely slippery slope and one that I would prefer we not even begin traveling down. It is very easy to suggest that such an idea be applied to a minority group like teenagers, but just the use of such a policy opens the door for application of the idea on the majority.

If you can't trust your teenager to not race the family car with burn-outs at every stoplight, then perhaps they should not be driving at all. From personal experience, I can state that one of the best tools for improving teenage driving is to have teenagers actually use their driver's permits. I drove literally everyday in the year leading up to my 16th birthday and I was a much better driver for it. However, I had friends that, while they had had their permits for a full year, their parents had only allowed them to drive once or twice prior to getting their full license and being given the keys to a two-ton potential weapon. Whether or not such individuals are speeding or not, these inexperienced drivers are the ones that I don't want around me. If we can ensure that novice drivers are given real-life, significant experience by driving with their parents (or other similar options), the need for such MyKey devices should decrease.
