And the fact would also be that if the Camaro didn't come with a V8 there would be one less Camaro owner out there "ME".
All you V6ers can talk all the "burn" crap you want, but with out the history of the V8 the history of the Camaro changes in a big way, and more then likely we wouldn't have the 5th gen we have today.. So put that in your pipe and smoke it, and STFU already nobody cares what you purchased and drive but you.. It's just a car and its your car so get in drive and enjoy.. V6ers saved the Camaro and V8, that is the dumbest yet funniest thing I have read on this Fourm!!

They should keep the V8 but incorporate technology where the engine shuts off at stoplights and where 4 cylinders deactivate when you don't need the horsepower. That way, Camaros can keep that exhaust sound that everyone is in love with and kick the future Mustang's butt. A turbo V6 would be nice too. Anything over 400 hp is a bit excessive for daily use. Also... what happened to door panels that resisted door dings that Saturn used to put on their cars? Their cars were super lightweight, quick and great on gas mileage without all that extra steel.

But seriously, nobody believes the V6 or the V8 saved the Camaro. They go hand in hand when it comes to this car. GM saved it by making it attractive this time around. Without the good looks, the car fails, and same goes for the next gen.

Love the LS7. If you knew my life story you might begin to understand that. Where did you get the hoping for a Prius Camaro? We do have a $1 Million dollar Porsche Hybrid though. Is that a bad thing? The Camaro IS a coupe. LS and LT compete against other V6 coupes in the same price range. You are missing something if you don't understand the the coupe banner is carried by the Camaro. And if all you need in a stylish coupe is a V6 for some fun and reasonable economy, then the things that this website has b**ched about for 3 years now matter. Trunk space and lift over. High belt lines and poor visibilty. Poor sightlines out the back. And as many miles as I've put on Camaro's, I have yet to try to parallel park one. You act as if there were no Berlinettas in the Camaros past. At it's heart it is a stylish and affordable coupe. SS, IROC and Z28 versions over the years have made for some awesome cars...............based on a stylish coupe. Would GM be better off if the Camaro was THE coupe of choice? Stealing sales from Honda and Nissan? You better believe it. I hope you able to see the train wreck of higher and higher gas prices coming at us. And I am curious as to what that solution is from your perspective. The only way to keep a V8 powered car in the Fleet is to have far more economical choices to choose from. And if stealing sales from Honda and Nissan on the 4 and 6 cyclinder cars gets the numbers high enough then there is more room for a V8 in the Average. Also don't you think the Camaro would have been farrrrrrrr better off at launch with an interior and ergonomics similar to the Honda and Nissan coupes? Boy I sure do.

When are you going to realize that you're always bringing up the V6 in this argument because even you 4 cylinder supporters can't defend a 4 cylinder on it's own merits?

Used and refurbished. We did it in the late 70's & early 80's. History doesn't repeat, but it can rhyme.
When are you guys going to understand that buyers don't respect companies who sell "performance" cars whose main purpose is economy? And that there's always another option. |

Anyway, the US is going through an energy boom right now. And once other countries start using fracking tech, energy worries are over. The only thing keeping gas prices up right now is our sinking dollar. All commodity prices are up because of it. |

Try to get past the idea that 4's are incapable of decent performance. And for the record, I've been mentioning IL-6's as well. Not all sixxes are/were V's. Norm |

I agree with the good looks and I also agree both motors go hand in hand. I'm OK with it. But the whole V6 saved the V8/Camaro childish I can't believe I have a drivers license posts above are ridiculous... I do admit it, and as I stated I'm OK with it. I never said other wise. The only thing I said is I wouldn't be driving one if not for the V8. It's just my personal preference.
