Good morning guys.

I'm sitting here in the Workhorse display and its been very busy. Lot's of folks coming by all with the same question or concern that Workhorse doesn't have an gasoline engine anymore. I can tell you this though, Workhorse still has an engine however that technology has shifted somewhat at this time to diesel but do not rule out a gasoline engine making an appearance in the future. The gasoline engine is not dead yet. The price point for gasoline engines is just to significant to not be in that business.

You will see as time passes here over the next few quarters that GM most likely will get back into the Medium Duty truck business again and one thing that will be in demand will be an affordable very day engine. So let's keep our fingers crossed and let's see where that will go. We could see a BIG block gasser make another appearance in a form that will be 2012 emission control compliant.

Many of you here will agree that there is no substitute for cubic inch displacement.

Drop by and say hello if you're here, I'm in aisle #700.

Thanks for the report DriVer. I feel bad I could not be there this year but that is life.

DriVer, I'll keep my fingers crossed, I like our 8.1 big block and think it's a shame it's not still being made for trucks and rvs. I too wish we could be there with you but I'm afraid we're still some years away from being able to do that kind of thing.
