These are halo cars. They are meant to sell the rest of the lineup, not themselves. In order to do that, they need to have some connection back to the brand they're supporting besides simply being sold through the same dealership.
All very valid points, but it has been suggested that a twin turbo 3.6L (lf3 or similar) is a possibility. As much as I love the v8's, there are more and more cars being built with smaller turbo engines. It makes some sense that they might try to sell us on the TT V6 as a "fuel efficient" alternative.
