I'm sure there are people who'd like a station-wagon variant also, and probably another group that would love a Camaro pick-up. Should Chevy build their car too? After all, no one is forced to buy any particular variation, so car makers should manufacture every dumbass idea that crosses their mind. What could go wrong? A 4 cylinder isn't needed or wanted. God only knows why you clowns keep zealously attacking anyone who points that out. |

FFS, it's not like they're deleting the V8 altogether. The base engine will just be a 2.0T. If you're not interested in the base engine then WGAS?

Not to mention the fact that 2.0 turbo is going to be pushing close to 300 hp (and motivating a ~3400 lb car), so it's not as if the performance is going to suffer compared to the current V6.

If you want L99 power, then get an L99 and a free warranty with it. |

Of course they are not getting rid of the V8. The plan is to just make it REALLY hard and REALLY expensive to get one.

If its just about selling more cars why not make it an EV then? I hear Priuses sell pretty good... They could also make 4 cylinder Vettes for the people who want the awesome power of the turbo 4 in a Sports car. Heck, the Vette could be like a Porsche and the Camaro could be like a Subaru!

A 4-cylinder Camaro again? GM tried it and failed before.
Or they could call it a Monza!

I'm with the Captain on this one. They want my guns, my Cigars, my V8,--next they'll want my single malt scotch!

We have a 4 cylinder Camaro already, it is called a L99
I can say that since I owned #230 one of the first L99's. |

I know times have changed, but I just hate to see the Camaro (6th Gen) especially, become just another economy transportation vehicle...I think the Gen5 (V6 included) sort of bucked the "trend" of being another run-of-the-mill, a little something for everybody type car...
The 5th Gen v6, I came to believe, was the modern type of what older small displacement v-8s were once upon a time, and the SS v-8's harkened back to what most remember and desired from the older first gen muscle cars... I hear some "justify" the v6 because many other gen Camaros had them, but don't bring up the vast improvements over the old 6's, yet the I-4 is always touted as not being the same old dog 4-bangers... ...Just sayin' the "image" of what made the Camaro a success with the fifth gen, will be lost with the addition of a four-cylinder engine on the 6th, and the for the Camaro line of cars, a V-6 is "base" enough....Why it can't remain something "special", instead of going 4-cyl, like just about all other model lines have done is, for lack of a better expression, "watering-down" the image of the car, and may result in hurting sales, rather than improving them...
