No, they won't.

Wrong. There are plenty of future Camaro owners on this site, and current Camaro owners who want to upgrade. Hell, there's even a ton of jealous Mustang fanboys. None of them came here to cheer on a 4 cylinder.

The fact that Ford is going to offer an ecoboost 4 and the success of the ecoboost 6 in the f150 are indicative of a very receptive market for turbocharged, smaller displacement drivetrains in what have historically been large-displacement vehicles.

And the fact that the Camaro is the best selling car in it's class is
proof that the market is actually receptive to big displacement engines.
