To me, the 5th gen is one of the best looking cars on the road. Having said that, I can't wait to see what they do with the alpha platform. I don't think they can mess it up, I have no doubt it will look great.
Here's what I think it will be..

Base: 2.0T 280-300HP, 3300lbs $22k
SS: LT1 V8 470HP, 3500lbs $30k
Z28: LT4 v8 600HP, 3600 lbs $50k

When the ATSV comes out with what I'm guessing will be a na LT1, we will see a preview of what a 6th gen SS will run like.
They may squeeze a 3.6 in there somewhere, but I don't see where it would be needed.
I think they are getting away from offering 5 different engines in the same car.
I don't see why so many of you are so hell bent against a 4 cylinder. If you don't like it, just get the v8. But MOST people that just want a Camaro because its a nice car and they like the way it looks, its a great idea. Same concept as the 5th gen 3.6, most people that drive them have no idea what engine is in it, and never go past 50% throttle or past 4k rpm. And that's fine, that's what they like. The extra mpg is just an extra kicker for them.
