In Torque we trust.

A turbo 4 would be interesting, but only as a novelty (my own personal take on it). I don't see it being anything that would bring the price down to something "entry level", though.
I always like the old SVT Mustangs, but I think they were too far ahead of their time to be successful. Times have changed, and a turbo 4 could be an interesting option for some folks. For some of us, we still hold fast to "there's no replacement for displacement". I'm sure a modern turbo 4 cyl would be more fun to drive than the old 4cyl and 2.8L F-bodys.

It is. How many mainstream RWD V8 sedans are there right now?

There are probably more today than there were 10 years ago. But I agree they are probably a dying breed, relegated to low volume in the not too distant future.

Plus that article's from 2009. G8 GXP isn't even in production anymore, in fact Pontiac as a whole is dead.

I personally vote for a V3 and a V7 Camaro.

I hope I never see a camaro with a 4-cylinder engine.
The American muscle cars are necessarily equipped with V8 engines or V6. It would be a shame to lose this American specialty, even in the name of economy or ecology.

Are you sure you haven't seen one? They were produced between 1982 and 1984 and I saw one just a few years ago at a car show.

That being said, I would only buy a V8 Camaro. However I understand why people buy the other. Same goes for the morons who talk crap about people who drive automatics. Oh I'm less of a guy because I drive something different? Yea? My dick is really small. YOU GOT ME! I've owned both manual and auto. Manual is fun for a while but it gets old in traffic. Especially when my sciatica flares up. :/

If it keeps the Camaro alive, I'm all for it, too.

Yep. What people fail to realize is without the 4 and 6 cylinders of the world, their precious V8s will definitely cease to exist.
And just sayin', GM just cracked the 300 HP mark with the 2.0T with the Astra GTC Extreme.
