But I agree the price difference is nuts. Better off waiting a couple years and then picking one up lightly used.
I know it's high tech, but the 2.0 Turbo doesn't feel right in a Camaro. Maybe I am old school and some would say the same about the V6 I guess.

I saw a new ATS today with 2.0T badging and I thought "oh look, that's basically the same car as the Camaro underneath". I am not sure if that is good or bad.

I get that the Gen6's is a totally new car and a good car; the performance is impressive but the Gen5 is no slouch either. If price were no object, I'd love to have one (at least with the V6 though), but the Gen6's just doesn't feel "better" in enough ways to justify the price tag.
