Especially on a lighter alpha platform.

As long as they still offer a v8 I dont know why anyone would care. Not everyone is looking to mod their Camaros / Mustangs for more performance, so it would only make sense to capitalize on the weight / fuel mileage of 4 cylinders that are already in their lineup.
This not only that most people buying it is younger people either for their high school kids or college kids. A v8 is gonna cost more for insurance purposes but a 4cy shouldn't/wont be as much.
