With the new EPA laws under the new prez/senate in the White house could we see GM 8.1 and Fords V-10 back into trucks soon.
Might even have a other gas class A motorhome chassis to choose from.

This was the original question ^^^^^^. The real answer is no. One election, one president is a very short period of time. The auto makers have spent millions in developing more energy efficient less polluting engines. All it will take is one skirmish in the middle east to drive up oil prices and the fickle consumer will run from the gas guzzlers. Have we forgotten the near demise of the auto and RV industry? We have been lucky that we have experienced several years of an anti-war environment that has given us cheap gas. That can change tomorrow with zero notice.
I think the CEO's of the big 3 have a better long term vision than the average voter-consumer, don't expect huge changes.
