That's the assumption I'm basing most of my gripes on.

You're seeing the beginning of automakers charging more for less efficient and more powerful engines. This will continue as CAFE rules tighten.
For the Camaro and Mustang this will mean that V8's will be more premium priced in relation to the base engine options than they are now.
V8's will be available for the forseeable future but not as affordable as they are now.
