I do think the DI'd 3.6 will be detuned slightly. I'd place money that it will come in between 280-300, and not 260.

Lutz had his engines confused when he made that statement.
His statement is:

“This time, the V6 is 260-odd horsepower, four overhead cams, very smooth and decent 0-to-60-mph times.”

If he's that confused, I don't think it's a good thing for GM. I don't believe that to be the case IMO.
