Yeah, my last turbo 4 was a fairly-modified WRX wagon, putting 320 torque to the wheels. It was a blast, handled well, could do family duty well, was basically a "swiss army knife" of a car. Honestly, I miss it.

What is it not? The V6 model is about 200 pounds lighter than the V8 model. The V8 is the pony car, and the V6/I4 are sports cars.

Some of us like the sound of the V6 better as it sounds like a precise performance engine verses the V8 which sounds like a dirty beast. I think it’s all a matter of perspective!!!

We'll part ways on that one..the sound my 6.2 liter makes is intoxicating, the way the rumble of my completely-decatted boxer in the WRX was. And it is both a muscle car and a sports car. Such a great chassis.
It's all good, as said, the V6 Gen6 is a fine sports car, and I get why people would buy it. The V6 Camaro's from my formative years sucked..what we have now is so much more.
