Hey everyone! Just stumbled on this site while searching the internet, so i decided to register. I have only been part of the camaro5 forum and this one looks great too. I cant wait 'till the Camaro comes out to be my first car. 
Anyway back on topic. The way the disciples were talking, this would IMO be the D.I. 3.6.
P.S. I cant find how to upload a user pic.

look at the 3 fluid caps on the driver side of the engine at the front of the engine on the Camaro pic. The old V6 only has one cap, the new DI V6 has three caps. The intake manifold may be different, but to me it still looks like a DI V6.

For comparison here's the 3.6l LY7 from a CTS (this one is a pic from 04, something like 263 hp or something:
261 hp from the G8:
Definitely looks like a 3.6l in that Camaro, now the question is at what power level... I'm not buying the V6 either way but I'd be somehow disappointed if it only had the ~260hp version... Surely the focus group wouldn't be particular excited over anything less than 300hp. Dare we dream of more power???

Looking at the pic of the car on the assembly line from the rear, it looks like it could accept a different bumper cover and taillights from what the Camaro gets.
I could be wrong, but that's the way it looks to me.
