You're obfuscation mystifies me, but I guess someone has to have their head in the sand.

Tell me why you think adding power to the car would be harder with a turbocharged 4-cylinder than it is with a naturally aspirated 6. Examine the turbo 4 cylinders currently on the market with similar power levels to the v6 camaro. Each and every one of them will pick up far more power than the v6 camaro per dollar spent
These forums are indicative of opinions of current owners. They are less than targeted at potential owners of a yet-to-be-offered drivetrain option. If all GM did with new models was appeal to current owners their market base would fall apart with every new generation. It also seems that the first few pages, before the thread was overrun with bickering, had a pretty balanced sample with quite a bit of approval for a turbo 4. The fact that Ford is going to offer an ecoboost 4 and the success of the ecoboost 6 in the f150 are indicative of a very receptive market for turbocharged, smaller displacement drivetrains in what have historically been large-displacement vehicles.
