There's also a whole segment of people that want the looks and want fuel efficiency. There's a tremendous number of V6 models out there... and not just the Chevy's.

There's a lot of V6 Mustangs out there and a whole lot of V6 Challengers out there (though honestly on the Challenger... it's 1 MPG better than the V8 Camaro for 120+ hp less.... so honestly...what's the point of that one?)

Options are a good thing.
The new 3.6 pentastar in the challenger is rated at 305 HP and 28 on the highway. You're probably thinking of the old (really old) 3.5L V6, that engine should've been replaced a long time ago.
