I'm also pleased they kept the push rod format. It's "old tech" but it seems to have worked quite well for GM. Their pushrod V8s also (I think) are smaller physically, lighter, less mechanically complicated, yet still deliver pretty good MPG number (in the Corvette at least) than the newer overhead cam V8 engines that you see in other sports cars.
