CAMARO6 - View Single Post - 6th Gen Camaro once again rumored with 2.0L turbo 4 cylinder variant

It surprises me a bit to hear everyone dislikeing the idea of a 4 cylinder engine option to get better gas milage (even though it may very well have close the performance they're used to) and to provide a more affordable Camaro for those that don't need a ZL1 when we already have that situation with the current V6.

Offering a V6 with perfectly adequate performance and great gas mileage as they do today is no different than offering a Turbo-4 in the next generation.

Put the Turbo-4 in the 1LS, giving a low-end option to compliment the 2SS with perhaps the new LT1 V8.

What's wrong with that.?

Don't get me wrong, I still love the V8, after all I traded my 2011 2SS/RS Vert in on a 2013 ZL1 Vert, but I see nothing wrong at all with offerring a Turbo-4 AS LONG AS THE PERFORMANCE IS STILL THERE.
