The Atlas I6 designs will go away. The 3400 and 3800 are both dying possibly even next year (finally). The 3900 even though new, looks like it is a short term solution it probably will be gone in the next 3 years. The 3500 will stick around to fill gaps for about 5 more years. The 4.3 Truck V6 may disappear completely. The HF family (2.8, 2.8T, 3.6, 3.6 DI) will get larger and replace every other GM V6.

The 3800 hasn't died yet because GM can't close the plant until they have jobs building HF's for those guys.

Regardless GM should be down to one V6 Engine family by 2015.
