I also think that the "DI 3.6 . . . is an awesome engine." I am just glad that I don't have to buy a CTS to get it. But, to each his own.

You are missing the point. The point is that the 3.6 DI is made for decent performance with improved economy. If I was in the market for a car that was a decent performer and well rounded then I would want something like a CTS and get that engine with that TYPE of car. Im not saying to spend all that money to get the engine haha. The CTS is an all around much better made car and if I didn't want the "go" then the CTS would be a great fit for people looking for that sort of car.
If you are looking for a cheap daily driver with great MPG and decent market average performance then I wouldn't look at a RWD camaro V6. Why bother...no trunk, no back seat really, higher insurance, and you don't get the performance of what the camaro is really made for. Get an accord then....
The V6 has no brembos, the soft everyday suspension, a non performance engine (in comparison), an "ok" transmission, etc
It isn't about me having to have the top model like suggested above, it is about buying a car for what it is made to do. The camaro isn't meant to be used for getting groceries and getting awesome MPG. And to buy a car for the look and have the base model does not appeal to me AT ALL. I jsut never understood that.
I totally understand that money is an issue for people and they can't afford an SS but would prefer one. But if that is the case then you will always wish you had an SS. So I would suggest either saving a little longer or buying a different car that will fit your wallet even more. You can get the same performance out of an 18k Civic Si as the V6 camaro and it is much more functional
