V6 & V8 Engine Choices For Pontiac G8 ST

G8 Nation has been told that Pontiac is now considering an additional power plant offering. It’s no surprise that this would be the same 3.6L 256-hp V6 found in the G8 V6 sedan, and would have the same 17/25 mpg fuel economy as the V6 sedan.

Whaddya think?

I think its a smart move, and will open up sales to a few more potential buyers.

No-Brainer. Now put the HHR SS turbocharged four-banger and you have a useful, efficient, Home Depot runner.

Not bad, but I'll wait for a crew cab model. Hopefully from GMC.
