The new V6 could have the exact rating as the 9-5 Aero engine for marketing reasons. The 9-5 is the higher end, more premium sedan, and they don't want it overshadowed by the less expensive (and probably lower profit margin) 9-3SS. This way if you're just shopping on horsepower you'll be tempted to the 9-5.
So, they give 'em identical ratings, and I'll wager that the revised 9-5 will have higher output than this new V6. In any case, that Motortrend blurb on the car makes this engine sound pretty cool, with a wide and flat torque curve.
