I hope the Alpha part is true. I have little love for the current Zeta body. Driving it feels like a TrailBlazer SS. I can respect and expect a Forced Induction V6 but a V8 has to, and will be the top offering. Cars like Camaro and Vette can not sell well w/o V8 power. Period.

I love it. They put the EPA's agenda and environmental legislation over what consumers actually want.
I think I'll be switching to import or Ford if GM is going to go this route.

I think that as long as GM makes crate engines, there will always be a V8 option (just not from the factory)

This is a Camaro, not an Accord Coupe. I didn't ask for a v6 as the top offering. Knuckledheads at Government Motors! What they NEED to do is offer the 4cycl/V6 offerings in all sedans period. Leave the coupes and convertibles alone and ONLY offer v8 or higher on "SPECIAL" = SS models only but make them in low volume so that whatever Gov't rules are in regards to CAFE, you pass them that way. Gees!

They don't have a choice given the changes in CAFE and wanting to keep it affordable.

I'm an advocate of FI smaller cyc/ displacement motors, however, I still respect the notion that a v8 should still be an offering in a car such as this.
I would like to see a ttv6 option in the line-up, but don't deny the car its heritage. If they want to make a ttv6-only coup, do it on a car thats not directly associated with "american muscle". The new ATS/ CTS would be a great pick because it would go head to head with 335i's out there and should bump out IS350's from people's considerations. Swizz says it well...

this whole topic is political because its what they want not us . let the public deside what to drive.
