281hp 3.6 V6 base engine
According to an article in the lastest Automotive News, the base V6 will be a 3.6 with approximately 281hp...sounds like the same engine that's in the Traverse. I'm guessing that it will be +/- a few from that number.
That's 6 more hp than were in the LT1 in the 1993-1995 model.

But should get excellent mileage and provide a ton more base power for older cars.

It is on page 82....
-A Chevrolet source said the car will be offered with a 3.6 liter V-6, producing about 281hp.
Later in the article Troy Clarke, Pres. of GM North America is qouted,
" The concept of the car will evolve into a really fun-to-drive, stylish vehicle, as opposed to something that just breathes fire and has cubic inches than the next guy."
I really hope this second quote isn't code for a smaller base v8?

That would be a pretty stout base motor.

I could totally see this...in the Traverse I think they're calling for ~26mpg hwy with that engine...take away ~1000lbs, and that'd be some pretty stout PR. "Camaro, with 30mpg V6"..."Take that Challenger"

Mustang V6 will get a pretty serious bump in HP soon though.

Nothing, other than the fact that there are better technologies out there that make it seem a little outdated. Not to go back to the "pushrod is archaic" debate, but most manufactures have moved beyond this type of motor, even its American counterparts.
It would be like GM putting the 3.8 200hp V6 in the 5th gen Camaro. it would work just fine. Might be a little anemic, but GM's got better stuff.
