I can't see GM not offering at least one V8 option for the 6th gen. I personally hope it is a smaller displacement (302-305 ci) DI/VVT engine. However, I also hope we start seeing them turbo V6s. Turbos seems to be the route everyone is going to get power and economy. Turbos also allow you to tune them for specific needs. Look at the Ecoboost 3.5. In the F-150 it is a low-end torque monster but in the SHO it has lots of mid-range HP. It is hard to do that with a NA engine and keep costs down and production rates high.
