Bentham Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 huh? STS has an option of a V6? Who the heck would want that? also, no manual transmission avail? ...Not that I could afford one -Eric Eric 93 Cad Seville 100K 95 Chev Blazer 143K [garaged summers] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonA Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 huh? STS has an option of a V6? Who the heck would want that? also, no manual transmission avail? ...Not that I could afford one I bet the V6 version outruns the current V8 STSes. If I were in the market for a new one, I'd pop for the Northstar I admit, but the V6 models will still be no slouch.

danbuc Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 The V6 is probably meant mostly for the European market since it is sold overseas and gas is very expensive there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
