There is an equally high level marketing person that will tell him what needs to be in the car based on the customer, and another equally high person that will tell him if a V6/V8 only lineup meets the objectives for compliance to federal requirements.
If he is quoted as telling anyone what the specific content will or won't be fine. I never saw it. I saw him quoted as saying he didn't want to see a 4 cylinder in the Camaro.
So if there is a quote from him that says, "there is no 4 cylinder in the Gen 6" awesome. What I believe he said was, "I really don't think there should be a 4 cylinder in the Camaro". Two completely different statements.

He said there wouldn't be a 4 cylinder.
More important to the point, the guy who engineers Camaros doesn't believe in a 4 cylinder Camaro. Wake up.
