Fair enough.
I think I'd agree with you. I don't see that as a bad thing, though...maybe that's where our opinions differ.
This is where I'm coming from:
Some don't think the Camaro is a muscle car at all. Others call it a sports coupe. And GM markets it as the "sports car of the 21st century". So who's right? And what defines any of these things? Some may rest easy pretending the Camaro SS is the only Camaro in existence...but that's not all that this car is about; not since the very beginning...
Adding a 4 cylinder to the lineup would not change the original formula of offering different levels of affordable performance. If the Camaro SS, or the ZL1 is considered a muscle car - that's fine...but they're only part of the overall "CAMARO" package.
And to throw a wrench in the gears: technology is changing things, making the number of cylinders less and less important towards achieving a performance goal....
