Think of it like how Apple CarPlay will be available immediately & Android Auto has to wait until next year & yet they run on the same infotainment system.

Maybe my employer didn't change the designation because they are reintroducing a 4 cylinder to the Camaro & the LTG is an award winning engine so why not relate the two.

Without going into detail for obvious reasons, speculate what may be different but trust me, they're different.
So, are you saying the 295 HP rating GM has provided so far is going to be different? Sorry, but if you can't provide specifics then I'm going to assume the only difference is the small HP bump over the ATS/CTS versions. That was the same for the LFX in the prior Gens, just 1 more HP this time.

Remember the Family II Ecotecs. LNF was followed by the LDK. I believe the only difference was calibrations for global markets, yet it got a new designation. Then came the LHU which only added flex fuel capabilities, again a new designation. Time and again we have seen this with GM. So, I'll remain sceptical until I see something official.
