I think a 4cylinder turbo and a V8 covers the spectrum.

V6 and T4 might be redundant, but only if they pump up the T4 enough to compete like Mustang did with the Ecoboost (which, in stock tune is not much if any faster than the V6).
The new LGX V6 is likely going to get the same 335HP/284TQ as the Cadillac version is getting. To match that, the T4 would need to make power similarly to the Ecoboost which I think is somewhere around 310HP/320TQ. I don't believe GM is going to push the 2.0 that far. I'd guess the T4 will end up around 275HP / 290TQ (still pretty quick) or less, and that's why it will be the base engine. Should be fairly simple to coax 350HP out of the new LGX which I think is pretty awesome.
I'd take the new 3.0 TTV6 in the Camaro in a second, but only if it was a decent out in cost less than the LT1....which I doubt it would be. In any case, I'm about 90% sure we aren't going to see the TTV6 in the Camaro in the near future. Down the road...I can see it for sure.
