The 6th gen will certainly have a V8. Most likely the LT1 and or some derivative of it. I would imaging it would also have a turbo 4 and a V6 or more likely a turbo V6. What happens to the later models of the 6th gen and the 7th gen after that depends on sales and future CAFE regulations. If people are willing to pay for a V8 and they can be made efficient enough then we'll still have them. One thing is for sure. They are going to change. At some point they will need to resort to start/stop tech and or Hybrid techs to make them efficient enough to not kill them in the CAFE department.

I just hope that when those techs arrive there will be a way to flip a switch so I can hear my V8 idle. It would be sad to not have it idle any more.
