The proof of the pudding will indeed be in the eating. If a 2.0T alpha Camaro is built, and is a sales dud, then you can tell everyone here that you told us so. And you'd be right.

I totally think your instincts are RIGHT with the respect to the Camaro as it now exists... it's relatively big, heavy, muscle-car-ish kind of vehicle... and a 4 cylinder engine just seems wrong for it.

BUT we're talking about the next Camaro, and I haven't seen it yet. If it's a smaller, lighter, sportier sorta car, then maybe it'll work. They say that the ATS 2.0T isn't half bad. If basically we're just talking about that with a Camaro skin, maybe it'll be a huge hit. Give 'em a chance. I'm not going to prejudge things at this point.
