The 2-door coupe with the Monaro label is only available with V-8 power. As Jeff stated, LS1 in the standard and LS2 in the HSV GTO***. The 4-door sedan that the coupe is based on, the Commodore, is available with a V-6 (255 HP) or two V-8 options (both at 337 HP and one with SS accessories). The Berlina and Calais that Jeff mentions (also based on the Commodore) are also 4-door and have V-6 (255 HP) or V-8 (337 HP) options. These would sell like hot cakes because of the quality.
Nevertheless, the Monaro is NOT available in V-6 and I am glad that it's not. Having a V-6 option (even an awesome one at 255 HP) would put it in the same category as Mustangs and you'd soon find it at your local rental car agency.
***Technically the HSV doesn't carry the "Monaro" label making the only 2+2 coupes it's available in being those carrying the "GTO" label: The Pontiac GTO or the HSV GTO.
