Yes. The 3.8L V6 is going out of production.
Regal will have the 2.4L SIDI I-4 with 182 HP from the Equinox and a 2.0L Turbocharged I-4 with 220 HP. The 2.4L model will achieve 30 MPG highway. The turbo model will be one less at 29 MPG highway.

A highly responsive turbocharged four cylinder with Interactive Drive Control System (Normal/Tour/Sport modes) is wrong?
Okay. ![]()

In addition, you also need to take into consideration the weight balance of the Regal with four cylinders. Much better without a V6.

At first early reports said that once production moved to Oshawa, a V6 would go into the Regal. That seems to have changed.

This hurts, I was hoping for the 300+ HP turbo 6 in the GS. Even a N/A LLT would be a good choice. There's no doubt if it gets 29mpg in the Camaro, it could get over 30 in the lighter Regal.
