Jim Federico told us that he wants more out the 2.0T
There will not be a V6 or V8 for this car.
The Regal GS will probably end somewhere in the 270hp/300ftlbs mark and still manage to pull down good gas milage for an AWD car.
The Regal is over a foot and nearly 700lbs lighter then the SHO.
Regal GS's internal bench mark is the Commodore SS-V or Pontiac G8 GT
Target car is the Audi S4.
Regal is a TSX/Euro Honda Accord fighter, as it is in Europe.

Jay, its been a no-brainer since Detroit but the offical word was give out just the other day.
GS goes Job one April 1st, 2011 if I remember right.

The GS we saw on the show circuit is in fact an Insigna OPC/VXR with the 325hp Turbo 2.8. But that engine is a gas hog.
