Love the LS7. If you knew my life story you might begin to understand that.
Where did you get the hoping for a Prius Camaro? We do have a $1 Million dollar Porsche Hybrid though. Is that a bad thing?
The Camaro IS a coupe. LS and LT compete against other V6 coupes in the same price range. You are missing something if you don't understand the the coupe banner is carried by the Camaro. And if all you need in a stylish coupe is a V6 for some fun and reasonable economy, then the things that this website has b**ched about for 3 years now matter. Trunk space and lift over. High belt lines and poor visibilty. Poor sightlines out the back. And as many miles as I've put on Camaro's, I have yet to try to parallel park one.
You act as if there were no Berlinettas in the Camaros past. At it's heart it is a stylish and affordable coupe. SS, IROC and Z28 versions over the years have made for some awesome cars...............based on a stylish coupe.
Would GM be better off if the Camaro was THE coupe of choice? Stealing sales from Honda and Nissan? You better believe it.
I hope you able to see the train wreck of higher and higher gas prices coming at us. And I am curious as to what that solution is from your perspective. The only way to keep a V8 powered car in the Fleet is to have far more economical choices to choose from. And if stealing sales from Honda and Nissan on the 4 and 6 cyclinder cars gets the numbers high enough then there is more room for a V8 in the Average.
Also don't you think the Camaro would have been farrrrrrrr better off at launch with an interior and ergonomics similar to the Honda and Nissan coupes? Boy I sure do.

I was not jumping to conclusions and I don't know your background (why would I?) you said it needed to to be like a Honda or Nissan. We disagree sir. While I am NOT against V6's as a base trim, my feelings about the Essence of what a Camaro is does not include it being the same or similar to an accord or Altima or an EV which you also mentioned.
Like many on here you back up your statements by acting as if you didn't make them and the other person is crazy. I can't be the only Camaro enthusiast who doesn't want the Camaro to devolve into a Honda accord or an econo cruze.
Now explain to me how foolish I am for not wanting the Camaro to be just like every other boring middle of the road Honda, Nissan, or Toyota.
Go ahead and speak the praises of the Accord and 4 cylinder hybrid econo boxes. Tell us how the days of fire breathing muscle cars are thankfully over and
We should embrace mediocrity. The Camaro has never been mediocre, just another coupe for the masses. I believe it's special and one of Americas unique muscle cars. That why I'm on this site. They make Honda sites and Prius chat for people who really like them.
