Article on 6th Gen Camaro
http://carbuzz.com/news/2011/12/23/R...amaro-7706499/
This article states that a four cylinder may be an option. Hmmmmm I just hope they dont get rid of the V6 all the way.

I've heard that the base 6th gen will most likely have a 2.0T engine.

I'm just wondering if in the same fashion as to how the 5th Gen was Retro-Styled to look like the 1st Gen...if the 6th Gen will resemble the 2nd Gen.
If they're (Chevrolet) done with Retro-Styling, then it would be really special to see the All-New-Design for the Camaro.

There are plenty of awesome design cues from every generation they could use - but I (my opinion, here) REALLY doubt they'll retro the 2nd gen, just because. |

Is there really not going to be rear passenger seating in the new Camaro? Could be how they plan to reduce size and weight and get away with the 2.0 turbo 4cyl out of the Sosltice. Sounds like their just modifying the Sol and puting a Camaro badge on it.

If they choose to use a 270hp turbo 4, remember we have no idea what they're going to use...but I imagine if they use it -- they'll "get away" with it, because the base-car customer is a little different from the performance models. And yet, that engine will still PULL assuming the car is very low 3000 lb range! |

And the 2.0T, if offered, won't be the one from the Solstice. That engine has been replaced with one that is both more refined and more powerful (and probably a bit more efficient too)

I would bet that the new base model Camaro will use the turbo 4-cylinder that will be in the Cadillac ATS. I believe it is a 2.0-liter with 270hp. I think they'll still offer a V8, albeit at a much higher price. I'm excited to see this new engine as I think it would be great for the new 2013 Malibu as well as an aftermarket Sonic or Cruze. I don't think a twin-turbo V6 is doable at least right now. Chevy and GM really don't have a whole lot of experience in turbo engines, let alone twin-turbo engines. Having said that, there are rumors that the next Corvette could use a twin-turbo V6, so GM might be making a huge gamble by researching and developing a TT V6, but I think it would be great. Personally, I prefer natural aspiration, but I completely understand why they would move to smaller displacement with turbos. Weight management is more important for the camaro anyway.

Rumor has it that they initially developed the ZR1 to use turbochargers...but the compact engine compartment of the Corvette caused a...."thermal event"...at those power levels, so they deciding on supercharging, instead. They've already built, and sold a turbocharged V6 in the Cadillac SRX, but it didn't sell very well. And...they've just engineered a twin-turbo V6 for Indycar racing. Took a trip around the world just to say: "It's possible"...sorry. |

The turbo solstice is slow and that car is tiny.
