If they build another one it won't be as strong as the present one unless it is alot more expensive. Looks to me like they are trying to get away from V8 cars except for the corvette and cadillacs, both expensive. The cavalier and sunfire will get faster they also have a pontiac solstice that is a 4 cyl supercharged rear wheel drive car that would compete with any thing in it's price range. They killed the big block in street cars and it looks like the high performance small block V8's will be next. Maybe all companies will be limiting horsepower in sub $30,000 cars to 276hp no matter what the engine type(like the japanese do) and they don't have to use a 300 plus cube V8 to do it. 3 litre V6's are putting out 240hp nowadays. Chevy also has a prototype Belair that would compete with the new T-bird it has rear wheel drive with a straight 5 cylinder engine. They are planning 6,5, and 4 cylinder versions of the inline 4.2 6cylinder in the trailblazer.
