Emissions be damned! Emissions in US cars havent been a problem for at least 20 years or more. Its money wasted for nearly no returns.

Exactly.
No one can give a reasonable answer as to why the 3800 was retired in the first place - and fuel economy or emissions aren’t reasonably ok e when modern cars aren’t any better in real life driving. You pair a modern 6-9 speed automatic to it and you’ll have every bit the same performance or better that with these tiny turbo 4s with the same fuel economy.
Only exponentially better reliability, and much cheaper to repair when it does break.
