GM isnt looking to move a half a million units, they are looking for 100k. If they can grab a few people out of thier 350Z's, Accord coupes, or even STi's and Evo's, with that 300hp V6, thats great. Some people dont want a V8, but dont want to sacrafice power. Thoes people buy Accord V6's cause the Mustang is a dog not ot mention the new Accord coupe is 100x better looking then the lowly chubby looking V6 Mustang.

Bring a stylish coupe, offering world class handling, great power, and class-leading...yes I said class leading...fuel economy, where the hell is the downside? It has 300hp AND gets 27mpg highway? And runs on regular?
There is no downside, its is only good.
Maybe...MAYBE if the market shows it, GM could put the new 3.0 DI motor in as a base motor making 265hp, but price wouldnt change much and would be offerd only in the base LS car.

Al,

It's the DI V6 that's currently in the STS, right?
