Sure, up to now V6 pony cars have been considered "secretary cars", but I don't think anybody's gonna be picking on a DI 304HP 6 that still gets 29MPG on regular gas. I will be moving up from a Civic and from my perspective the heavier V8 with lower MPG is overkill. The lightest Camaro you can buy is a 6 with a manual tranny that makes as much power as a Subie WRX STI or Mitsu Evo. Works for me.
