The Hyundai Gensis Coupe, 370Z, and G37 coupes will have a 300-330hp V6's.
BMW 335, next gen CLK, Audi A5 have high hp V6 engines at 300hp.
The Pontiac Solstice GXP, with a minor upgrade of its turbo, makes 300hp.
Looking into the future, the Ford Mustang V6 will get a 270-300hp V6 as its base motor, and the Pheonix engines, if Chrysler is still around, will also make near 300hp.
Camaro is just ahead of the game. Camaro is targeting the sports coupe market, and in that sports coupe market, the entrance fee for V6 is gunna be 300hp now...not to mention what will be in 3-4 years.

But the base engine for most of those cars is less. The 'secretary' that looks at a 2 door accord will buy a 4cyl car w/o blinking.
