Why would anyone want a 4 cylinder 2016 camaro
 

Why would anyone want a 4 cyl camaro?? Sounds a bit lame.

Why would anyone bawk at a 4cyl Camaro being added to the lineup if there's a demand? If it makes business sense and helps to keep the Camaro model in production, who cares? You can continue to buy your v8 and if someone wants to buy an entry level sporty Camaro at a cheaper price point, let 'em. Variation is the spice of life.

400 hp 4 CYL!!!!
Let's do it!!!

Because a 2 cylinder Camaro would just be silly. :D

Because GM has one of the best turbo 4s in the industry.

Bring back the Quad4!!!!

Not for me, but it may not be a bad thing. As Fen said, GM has one of the best turbo 4's in the industry.

Didn't they use the 2.5 liter (iron duke) in the Berlenetta Camaros in the 80's?

Look at that those turbo neons and calibers putting out over 300hp from the factory....give the V8 a run for it's money

Yep. It was pretty terrible but the LTG in the ATS and Malibu is down the corner and around the block from that engine.

haha...made me laugh

O I know. I had an S-10 in high school that had a 2.5 in it. Over 2K miles on it and it still ran decent. Sounded like a diesel the whole time I owned it though.

I didn't even look at a .750 Camaro I sure don't see me looking at a .500 Camaro.



:thumbup:



:facepalm:



:headbang:

A cheaper price point might not be necessarily true. If GM decides to go 4-cylinder with turbo option, it could price itself above $30K. I do agree that variety is the spice of life (I also drive an AWD 4-cylinder turbo; EVO VIII).

On a road course, the advantage of a high HP 4-cylinder compact engine with a shift of the center-of-gravity towards the center, in addition to low curb-weight and a worked over tuned suspension would be hard to beat as long as the power:weight ratio is at least 1 or as close to 1 as possible.

I'm sure that GM wouldn't put a four cylinder engine into the Camaro if they felt it wouldn't sell...It sounds a little hokey right now, but we have yet to see what the car looks like...Probably will be a good fit...

I find a little comfort that the new four cylinder won't be associated with the 5th gen, but then on the other hand a 6th gen with a powerful v8, that's light enough to handle a four cylinder, just might end up being totally awesome...

The problem that most of the close minded folks who think only a v8 belongs in the Camaro is that they don't realize that if the Camaro was v8 only there would not be enough business justification for the vehicle to exist. Without the v6, there would be no Camaro. Period.

Furthermore, my 1994 Camaro was a v6 when I bought it. I'm now one of the most passionate Camaro enthusiasts you'll meet. I run a Michigan-based Camaro and Firebird website with over 2300 members, I host a 300+ Camaro and Firebird specific car show every year, go to a ton of shows through the "car show season" in Michigan, registered on basically every Camaro forum on the internet, etc. Because of my '94 Camaro v6, I am likewise passionate about General Motors in general which made me work extra hard to get a job at General Motors world headquarters in Detroit. I eat, breathe, sleep GM and Camaro. I cannot imagine NOT owning at least one Camaro now for the rest of my life... And all that because of a v6...

So when I found out I could afford a 5th gen if I went with the base, 1LS model... Yeah, I didn't hesitate. :laugh:

For me, I would love the idea of a different option in the motor arena...If done right a 2.0L turbo 4 would be great in a lighter more agile 6th Gen Camaro.... I said it in another post, I would love a 320-325HP 2.0L Turbo in a 6th Gen that would weigh in about 3200-3300lbs(max)...
