At least 3 should be available initially, including the 4-banger, the V6, and the lower V8 model with each new addition coming out within months of one another. Additional suspension and trim packages should be available as special editions.
I know you'll hate my SS argument from above, so I'm simply pointing out that the SS trim is not inherent to V8s, and it represents performance. If a car performs in the Chevrolet line, give it the SS moniker, especially if it beats up the mainstream competition.

I wouldn't mind that if the power went like this:
2.0T 275-300 hp (with a GMPP tune being an option)
3.6L 320-340 hp
3.6T 370-400 hp
5.5L V8 with 430hp and a track package
6.2 with 475hp as a drag option
6.2L S/C 580-620 hp
Those with weight reductions could be rather impressive, and you could run 3 engines.
