IIRC, it wasn't saying it's the first time it's been done ever.

Edit: Found it...

The most notable news about the model, though, is the SS model's use of the Generation IV small-block V8 in a front-wheel drive Chevrolet for the first time, and the first V8 in a Chevrolet sedan since the 1996 Caprice.
Left out the Gen IV part.
