I think I was the one who mentioned the Impala. The V6 hasn't been dropped completely from the '14 Impala, but it's no longer standard. The standard engine is the 195-hp 2.5L non-turbo four-cylinder. Any way you slice it, that's a pretty major downgrade from the tried-and-true 3.6 DI V6 that's standard in the '13 Impala... and the '14 Impala is slated to costs thousands more.
But, again, what GM has done with the Impala may or may not to be relevant to what will happen to the Camaro. Maybe GM thinks Impala buyers are more comfort-oriented, i.e., they want a big, cushy car but are not so concerned with having a hot engine, so they won't notice or care that the new engine is a slug. I do know, though, that a typical Camaro buyer WILL notice.
