1LT only = no need to source green leather and matching door panels.

No RS = no need to have the spoiler and roof molding sourced in the new color

No RS = Deal with Pirelli for high-cost tires at little or no cost is running into the maximum volumes already.

All just guesses, no inside info here.
These all sound reasonable to me, too...plus GM wanting to boost V6 sales. And speaking of the V6...as priz23 mentioned...it puts out over 300 hp! That's far from "pansy" level power. I'm not hating, I'm just saying...
