The ONLY way I'd buy a 3.0LTT and auto would be if it had AWD.

My dream car right now would be a 2017 SS Sedan built on Alpha with a LT1+M6 or a ATS-V with AWD.
The SS is going away in 2017, and I think 2016 is the last year for the SS in the US, so don't hold your breath for a LT1 + manual sedan any time soon. Also why should the ATS V be AWD? It's perfectly fine RWD, handles really good, it's faster than a Camaro SS (track and quarter mile- at least in mag tests), and none of it's competitors are RWD (M4, C63 S).

While that's somewhat true, this would be more like a Camaro, a car you could daily and that is fairly practical with good performance. The ATS V on the other hand is much more practical. 2 different cars for 2 different types of buyers.
