Comparing with the Lotus (ironically a GM car), $18,000 will get you a very decent C4, perhaps a C5.
0-60: 4.4 seconds

I'm sorry. Your argument that a 1.6L engine will outperform a 5.7L engine just does not hold water.

Perhaps I should rephrase slightly as the message behind the original post is clearly lost on you. There are 'probably' a lot of 5+ litre cars that a good 1.6 engine over here could outperform and still not guzzle a whole petrol station just to get to work, is that better for you? Why won't you drive anything smaller? I can think of two reasons but I best not post them
