I actually disagree on the turbo 4 being needed for CAFE standards. I could easily see the lineup being the N/A 3.6, the TT 3.0, and hopefully a slightly higher output LT1 to compete more with Dodge's 392 hemi.

My reasoning behind this is that Chevrolet, unlike Cadillac, has plenty of other models to shove the turbo 4, and any other tiny 4, into to meet the CAFE standards. Chevrolet can let the Malibu, Impala, Cruze, Spark, Volt & Bolt worry about CAFE and let the Camaro and Corvette focus on being true performance vehicles.
