And if this is the 6th generation they are talking about it will not be the car for me. That is why I plan on getting a 5th generation SS, I can safely say the 6.2L V8 will be the biggest V8 put in any Camaro from the here on out. Smaller is good but that also means no V8 save maybe for a 45-50K Z28 model prolly won't happen and that is really going to suck. I don't care how small it is, or how nice the interior is or even how nice it looks I want a REAL BIG MOTOR. The 6.2L is that motor. When I know they were stuffing 6.2L 376ci. V8's in Camaro's in 2015 for the last year of the 5th generation and the biggest motor they have for the 6th generation is an uber expensive 5.0L V8 model, that I won't be able to afford. All I will be able to afford are the sissy 4 banger and six models. Anyone else think a 4 banger Camaro is wrong? Or even not having an affordable 8 cylinder motor? Or making the 6 cylinder what the current SS is now, wrong? To me it is, part of what appeals to me is that fact it is more of hybrid between a muscle car and a pony car, and it is not strictly a smaller Mustang.
Thats why the 5th generation is the car for me... It is the largest motor put in a Camaro cubic inches wise since 1973/1974-ish which was the 396ci. as I recall. Since then up until the end of the F-body in 2002 the 5.7L was the biggest. Another reason why this is my car, well it will either be mine or my sons. Rest assured one of us with have one in the family. As I have my eye on the new LaCrosse and one Ford product if I do a sedan. I might end up with the next generation Impala or even a Malibu due to the pricing on the Buick. I would like to stay solely with GM because of the luck I have had with them, the excellent new product and my EXCELLENT dealer. The whole government ownership gave me pause, and got me thinking about Ford again and found out what a great car the new Taurus is. If the new Impala is as great as I hope that could very well be next sedan.
So do I know for sure what my next car will be? No, but if my son is done with school he prolly will jump on a Camaro. That means I won't have to get one and can go after some "practical" car. The SLE isn't going anywhere either staying with me or with my son. He wants the Bonneville and a Camaro as his two classics. The year of Bonneville and the only year with the SLE has GXP styling and a true RWD V8 powered muscle car for good measure.
I do know this the new Camaro is the car for me. The Mustang is too small and the Challenger although cool doesn't trip my trigger!
