Latest 2.0T review from Car and Driver
The latest print edition has an article that is titled "A Case For The V6". Mostly negative stuff.
I don't have a link to an online version. But the last line of the last paragraph of the article says this... "Camaros aren't for everyone, but a Camaro with a 2.0 liter turbo is, shall we say, for no one." Ouch. |

The new article from MotorTrend seems to say the Camaro 2.0 is pretty dang quick in a straight line, and a fun handling car, but just so-so on the track due to the all season tires and the smaller brakes.
Not nearly as negative as you say this article appears to be. What 0 - 60 and 1/4 mile times did they get?

I gave up my subscription to Car and Driver since they seem to have an unnecessary bias against Chevys for some reason. I read the article on the 4T and couldn't believe they were talking about the same car Motor Trend wrote about. If you've noticed, the 4T puts a fairly sound trouncing on the Mustang in the quarter mile and with equal tires, will run away and hide from the Stang on the road course. I love the idea of a light weight sporty car like the Camaro 4T. Did I see that Motor Trend is saying something like: "Is the Camaro 4T the new Miata?" Now that's saying something.
I have that engine in my Malibu Premium LTZ and I think it makes the car a great road trip car and it gets better than 30 MPG on the highway at 75 mph. I love it, torquey and a great mid RPM surge as the turbo spools up.
