as mentioned above, there will be probably be a five speed auto V6, a 5spd manual V6, a six speed manual high option V6, a 6spd auto V8 and a 6spd manual V8... not only does that make sense, it keeps the car (and the platform that it is on) in or ahead of the performance curve. |
Unfortunatly for your theory, GM does not have a 5-speed transmission. They could source one from Aisin, like they do for the Equinox, but that too is Front wheel drive.
Soooooo.......it's going to be all 6-speeds across the board.
