Ahh but that is a turbo'd top model application. The regular Regal is the equiv of the DI 3.6 V6 Camaro in this example. Now would you rather be driving the Buick Regal or the Grand National?

To me it is the same situation here. I would never even bother with the Regal especially when the Grand National was there. It isn't that I have an issue with the DI 3.6 in fact I think it is an awesome engine....but if I was looking for that engine I would be looking at a CTS not a V6 camaro.

People keep saying that the V6 is a terrific bargain and the SS is overpriced for what it is....In my eyes the V6 is a total waste of my $25k while the SS is worth every penny. But as I said above to each his own!
