Hi guys, first post on this site.

In regards to speculating which v6/v6s we'll see, I have a feeling the base model will use the 3.5l lz4. I don't see how they would be able to hit a base price of $19k-$22k with any other v6 in their lineup (unless we get the 3800 again).

With that engine, the power will be in the same neighborhood as the base mustang and the fuel economy would probably be decent (plus being able to use e85). If they want to edge out the mustang, they could concievably go with the 3.9l lz8.

Assuming that there will be two different flavors in V8 I'm not really sure I see a way for another v6 to fit in. The newer 3.6l engine thats in the CTS isn't a cheap engine. The 08 Malibu with the 3.6l starts in the mid 20s.

Thoughts?
