It's a known fact that the V8 owners wish they could differentiate themselves from the V6's with more exterior differences. I'm constantly asked "V8?" all the time when people see the car so regular people can't tell the difference.

Guess what though, that's the POINT. GM wants people to treat the V6 like the V8 because GM hopes to tell a ton of V6 cars. They want people in the V6 to get the rockstar treatment as well. If they did something like remove the muscular hood from V6 cars, then they would lose a lot of V6 sales. Not only that, GM saves a ton of money in the long run by not having to add more modifications to the V8.

I know when I'm driving my car that it's a V8 because I can "feel" the difference. Other people in my car will know as well. That's all that really matters.
