I agree with casuall and his reasoning explanation -

The reasoning dragon is not previous cost analysis because we have been told it will compete with the mustang, if you check the mustang you notice a few things.. you get 2 engine choices (if you don't include the gt500 which i don't because its a limited production hey look at what we can do type thing)

coupe pricing for baseline

v6 210hp @ $20k-$22k - 2 trims base and deluxe
v8(gt) 300hp @ $26k-$28k - 2 trims base and deluxe
v8 gt500 500hp @ 42k - 1 trim limited production

camaro probability to fall in line

V6 3.9L 250 HP @ $21k - comparable to stang v6 base trim (cam more hp)
V6 3.6L 300 HP @ $25k - comparable to stang v6 deluxe trim (cam alot more hp but price bump)
V8 6.0L 368 HP @ $29k (L76) - comparable to stang v8 base ( cam more hp)
V8 6.2L 450 HP @ $35k (LS3) - comparable to stang v8 deluxe (cam alot more hp but big price bump)
V8 6.2Ls/c 550 HP @ $42k (Blown LS3) - comparable to gt500 (cam more hp)

when compared side by side.. camaro is clear winner, if you get base trim levels (assuming comparable options) you pay the same but get more hp. When you hit the price bump you get major hp upgrade but you pay for it( and probably bundled options hud/nav/bluetooth/ect..)

again personally i don't like it if it goes this way but we will have to see for official word
