Cars aren’t going to get cheaper, and a twin turbo V6 will cost most to produce than a V8...so if anything it would go up even more in price. It would be a decision based strictly on gas mileage, because the V8 will always be the most well balanced engine for this car.

Super in Canada is about $0.30 more a liter not a gallon it's an insane amount of money here. Because prices of gotten out of control so yes at this point in time for commuter I do prefer the 6. If it was a garage car the SS will be better. you look at my car I put about$5,000 in upgrades into the car to get it the way it is I could have not gotten hyper blue or dual mode exhaust not gotten the Bose stereo and then spent a few thousand more got an SS.
I didn't want to spend more than I did but money wasn't the only reason.
I have a 2011 Sierra with a 5.3 I've disabled the AFM because it kills the engine. the gas mileage is horrible on it and I'm very interested in the turbo 4-cylinder coming to full-size trucks next gen just to save me on gas.
I had a 2002 Camaro Z28 for over 10 years and I could burn a tank of gas in 200 km that was all super 94 octane crazy expensive who wants to spend that type of money on gas these days just to feed the Saudis pockets
And like I was saying bottom line I've already had the V8 muscle car for over a decade I just hit 40 I got nothing to prove I think the twin turbo V6 is a better car for me at this point in life.
