[Number 3]

For all intents and purposes, one could argue that the Camaro is already a 2 door version of the Commodore. One could argue that this is what the GTO redesign would be with some Pontiac exclusive sheetmetal.

So a 4 door off the same architecture? Sure you can do that and we have that. What we won't see is a 4 door Camaro. GM now knows better than to try to do something that stupid..................at least you hope they do.

So in the end if you go through through the anals of history we have already had 4 cylinder pony cars. Mustangs have had 4 cyclinder engines as has the Camaro, a 90 hp 2.5L display of awesomeness.

So you can't make the argument, at least I don't think you can that a 4 cylinder can't go in a pony car.

AWD is another story. But just because it hasn't been done, doesn't mean it breaks the definition of a pony car. It just makes the performance better. It would take the car to a whole new level. GTR is all over a Corvette Z06 simply because of AWD. So if AWD makes your car even better does that mean it isn't a pony car? or a Camaro for that matter?
