Very true. But off topic, their turbo 4s are not SAE rated. So while BMW advertises 240hp the reality is the ATS with the LTG is rated at 275hp but is not actually faster than it's 328i/428i competitor. After leasing mine I can assure you it is at least 275hp. My chipped 2.0T in my old Jetta doesn't pull as strong as my 328i does.
The Camaro with LTG will be just as good competition for BMW turbo 4s as the ATS is now, maybe even better.
