There's nothing to show that this "news" has any merit, but I'll say no thanks if there's no V8.

V6 twin turbo is the way of the future.

Look at Ford with their twin turbo V6.

I forsee the Mustang also having a twin turbo V6 as well. Audi also went this route and put a V6 twin turbo instead of a V8 in the S5.

Oil is a finite natural resource that the world is quickly running out of. Of course we are going to try and cut consumption of oil.

yep lets ruin an iconic name with a v6
sure they are cool and powerful and fun to drive
but no... it needs a v8

More like, "let's drive this country into economic ruin"

oh well, you guys will learn when gas hits upwards of $5 a gallon.

I wouldnt buy a V-6 SS Camaro!!! GM Dont be this stupid! V-6, I dont care how much HP it makes, no way I would ever consider it!!! OBAMAMOTORS=death of the V-8!!!

Long time reader, first time poster.

Why cant we have a V8 and a ttv6 with AWD and lighter weight? Sounds like a good GTR killer to me.

think before you post people. The SS will not be V6!!!! I don't know how you guys are getting that idea. Seriously.

I'm glad my 2SS with a V8 is out in my garage.

If you look out there in the real world there are millions of people that drove V6 Camaros from Gen 1 all the way thru to Gen 5! Of course the Gen 5 stats show V8's far outpacing the V6, that can be expected after a break in production and the re-introduction of the Camaro.

The rabid performance customers will always be willing to pay more for power or for something brand new!

Future Model Years of the Gen 5 will show more and more V6 models being sold. With a Twin Turbo in the works it would be not all that surprising to see the V8 actually flip flop.

I think the SS and possible Z28 will remain V8 powered, just less of them being sold as the TT 6 becomes a reality.

Now this comment actually makes sense.

You should tell that to the folks saying, "It's not a Camaro without a v8!"

You can't count the number of people who appreciate the cars looks, handling and performance. Then you have a group that only judges the car on it's engine size.

Your comment is exactly why I don't understand the people who say, "You're getting a muscle car without the muscle." if you opt for the V6. If you're racing the car or a collector, that's one thing. For the average person who wants a beautiful daily driver, that's another. I don't need to get from 0-60 one second faster, and that V8 is going to have to pull over 100 miles before the V6 for gas.

I think this is a pretty short-sighted thread. The fact is, the world we live in is not sustainable. Natural gas and oil are going to run out and some of you may see it in your lifetime. But hey, go ahead and burn up as much as you can while you're here, right?

Don't get me wrong. I'm not up on any pedestal and I'm not a tree-hugger.
I just think it's something to consider. No matter what, life is going to get very interesting in the next few decades.

this is not what i said
it wont drive the country into economic ruin
although it does hurt it it wont
i can also say the v6 really wont help either...
because as the economy grows so does our demand for oil
