Folks forget that it's not just about marketing the horsepower that folks want. There is the good old government in there and cafe standards to fuel efficiency... lest we forget the monkey on our backs.
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.
