Some people like it raw, while others want all the fancy stuff. Everyone is different. Its pretty much fact though, that if Chevy doesn't at least make that "fancy stuff" an option on the Camaro, that is just poor planning.

I think the new Mustang is a decent looking car. Its sleek and modern and looks sporty but at the same time it lost some of the soul the past cars had. I don't really think its an improvement over the looks of the 2014 model but I will say the proportions are better, and I definitely don't prefer it over the Camaro.

Not saying its the engine I'd buy, but I also think GM would be making a big mistake by not offering a turbo 4 in the next Camaro. We'll see what the sales say, but I think the ecoboost is going to be pretty popular, unless it commands a price tag well above the base V6.

Unless the new "LGX" V6 GM is developing can make about 330 - 350 HP and 300ish TQ AND get competitive MPG (pretty much impossible combination) I think offering a V6 and 4 cylinder is the way to go. Otherwise the Mustang Ecoboost will both be faster than the GM V6 (at least from a dig) and more fuel efficient for traveling. It would be a double whammy.
