I guess if it makes money then who cares about the over all image of these cars.
That's why it's an addition to the traditional lineup. Like I've been saying for years, GM produced a variant designed to attract new customers in addition to the traditional lineup that will retain old customers. By adding a new engine, a guy interested in a 370Z, BRZ, FR-S, WRX, STi, or other trims may at least consider the Camaro as a potential candidate. For the same reasons that not every truck guy drives a dually heavy duty—fuel economy—some people just don't want the biggest engine. Their sales will allow GM to invest more into higher trims and Chevrolet Performance parts.
