Personally, I'm taking a wait-and-see approach. A 4-cylinder anything in the current Camaro seems absurd. But the new Camaro? Well, who knows? If it's a leaner, lighter, more sports-car-than-muscle-car kind of vehicle, then maybe a turbo 4 as a base engine makes a certain amount of sense. We'll see.
4 cyl doesn't scream Camaro. I don't want my muscle car to sound like a SS cobalt. It doesn't matter to me if it makes more HP than the v8, its not the same. I'd just call the car something else instead of Camaro.

Its kinda like the new BMW M cars going boost. Sure its faster than previous cars, but its not the same soul of the car. Atleast Camaro gets a v8 option I guess.
