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.

This, times are changing. All the automakers are going to have to do drastic things to meet CAFE requirements, aluminum F-150s powered by 2.7L turbo V-6s, eco diesel rams, Silverado and Sierra are going aluminum eventually too. Look at all the cars out there that you can get a 4 cyl or turbo 4 cyl in. Hell even FULL SIZE cars are getting them.

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.

While I agree 4 cylinder doesnt scream Camaro or mustang to me, if it helps GM and Ford build a more bad ass V-8 pony car I am all for it. and besides, if you don't like it, don't buy it!
