Will Camaro buyers be attracted to a turbo four-banger?

If it has less horsepower than the V6 currently offered, and the price is equal or more than what's currently offered, then I don't think it would be successful. In order for something like that to work they'd have to get the base price for that model below $20k; especially if it has less horsepower than the V6. But at that point is it really still a muscle car or just an economy sedan with "sporty" performance? After seeing how difficult the Camaro crowd is to please, I don't see a turbo 4 going over very well unless the performance is at least the same as the current V6 but it's cheaper and gets better mileage. Even then....the Camaro crowd is a tough one to please....
