I'm all for selling more Camaros. I understand economics, business, etc. If the I4 got 45 mpg, the v6 got 28 mph and the v8 got let's say 18mpg, I could completely understand the business case. Additionally, if the I4 Camaro was $18,000, the v6 Camaro was $23,000 and the base v8 was $28,000, again I could understand the business case.
There are problems with both of the above, the fuel economy on the I4 (as noted in 1 or maybe 2 previous posts) is not that much better than the v6. I'm guessing on the second one because we have no knowledge on price, but I don't see the I4 undercutting the v6 that much by price.
And that's why I want to hurl when they mention putting a 4 cylinder in the new Camaro. Yes, I do remember the Iron Dukes. And yes I know the turbo 4 only makes 15 hp less than my LT1 so I know it's a hot little motor. I like that motor in the Cobalt, HHR, Solstice etc. It just doesn't work for me in a Camaro. Just my opinion.
