Explain to me how it won't happen, assuming the new 4 will be base. How does a turbo-4, which will be more expensive than the V6, enter the lineup and not affect V6 and V8 pricing.....unless the 4 will be an extra cost option.

If they made the V6 the base engine for the same cost, and charged more for the more expensive 4, I would have no problem with offering the option.
Ford actually does this on multiple cars already, with the 2.0L Ecoboost being an extra cost option. Thing the worries me about the Camaro is GM has no precedent of offering such a thing. In every car where a 4-cyl or turbo-4 has entered the lineup, the V6 (if it even continued to be offered at all) became a premium option...more money this year for the same thing as last year.
