Obviously, the two wouldn't exist without each other. That's not the point. You don't hear any V6 owners saying the V8's don't belong do you? Let's try to keep things in context here. Watching these threads to into all out bashes is sooo fun. I'll just sit back and watch. This is getting good. |

....Sinking good money into a "smaller" engine takes away funds and technology research, whatever that could go into improving v-6s and v8s.. If the Camaro had no other option than the v-8, sure sales would suffer and the need for a less expensive option would be needed to keep the car afloat...But that is not the case...The v-6 has done just fine for several years already... I sort of see more v-6ers cheerleading for an I-4 just so they can rub an embarrassing engine in the face of v-8 owners...sad to see performance, horsepower, "muscle", if you will, going in the wrong direction... |

I understand that the market and regulations are changing and a 4-cyl. Camaro may very well be in our future. I agree with you on the whole 'use the money on improving what you already have' deal. The CAFE standards are a crock though. Carbureted engines have been getting 40+ MPG for decades and suddenly it's a problem to get an electric car over that. Then you have the VW Rabbit Diesel which easily saw 55+. I would much rather see future Camaros have no less than 6 cylinders but if they decide to drop a '4' in one I'll just not buy it and continue my life as normal |

Chevy HAD a four cylinder Camaro in the 70's. They just called it the "Vega" I had one for about six months. It was a bad idea then. It's a bad idea now.

It's so bad nowadays that people freely give up their freedoms to coporatists in the GOV getting rich off this claptrap while accumulating power from stolen liberty. All the while the clapping seal reporters^h^h^h^h^h^h repeaters churn out propaganda that blinds many people to the facts until it is too late. |

We have to draw the line before these things happen, otherwise it will snowball. How would you like to live in a world where you are told what job you will have and what state you must live in. |

If all that is true, then pretty much mothing we are being forced to do now regarding CAFE and such actually amounts to ANYTHING. All the oil is going to eventually get used up by china, and they will use it up in the most polluting possible ways. The way I see your scanario is that we're now forcing people to pay tons of money on super efficient cars so that we can preserve the fuel supply so that our enemies can have it when they begin expanding. So we intentionally hobble ourselves for nothing. In that light, not only is CAFE illegal as I have been saying, but it's also incredibly useless and therefore is utter STUPIDITY. |

This time they took YOUR tax dollars and GAVE them to people in exchange for their perfectly good used cars so they could GRIND THEM UP, so you won't be able to find one when you are shopping for one in the future to get aroud this CAFE crap. Cash for Knuckleheads. |

Like many on here you back up your statements by acting as if you didn't make them and the other person is crazy. I can't be the only Camaro enthusiast who doesn't want the Camaro to devolve into a Honda accord or an econo cruze. Now explain to me how foolish I am for not wanting the Camaro to be just like every other boring middle of the road Honda, Nissan, or Toyota. Go ahead and speak the praises of the Accord and 4 cylinder hybrid econo boxes. Tell us how the days of fire breathing muscle cars are thankfully over and We should embrace mediocrity. The Camaro has never been mediocre, just another coupe for the masses. I believe it's special and one of Americas unique muscle cars. That why I'm on this site. They make Honda sites and Prius chat for people who really like them.

Never mind that people buying in at the lower power levels tend not to be all that interested in brutal acceleration anyway. The current V6 is more than many will ever use as it is. These people are the "some's good" in "some's good, more's better, and too much is just enough", and there really are a lot of them. Just not people like either you or me. Quote:

the way i see it, it's better to have a choice than not.
it would be fine if they offered a 4 cyl. camaro and let the people buy the camaro with the engine type that they like |
