He also added that downsizing the car or the engine too much will stray too far from what the Camaro is all about, and make people question whether the car should continue on.
“We’ve established what the Camaro is. And if the Camaro ceases to become a Camaro, you’ve got to consider, do you take Camaro out in the future.”

Hopefully that won't happen. Allowing manufacturers to use credits across footprints, and treating regular-duty pickups differently will give them more flexibiliy. But consumers will need to support GM as they try to pull this off. The camaro may end up sharing a footprint with many models in 10 years just so they can support high performance trims.
