Dave I agree with you to an extent about the V6, but given that some of us on the forum will be buying the SE, don't bash too hard For myself, it's a V8 or nothing.
But to someone seeking a fun cruiser or daily driver, the V6 can make some sense, and starting at 22K, the price is very tempting "Looking cool" in the form of the car's knockout styling, is probably a major factor for everyone buying this car. Many want to have the performance and V8 rumble to go with the looks, but those who can live without it save themselves 10 grand
