In light of increasing gas prices, a crash program has been initiated to study the feasibility of offering the 260-bhp turbocharged 2.0-liter four (used in the HHR SS and Cobalt SS) as a possible base engine to replace the 3.5-liter V-6. However, that engine may not be offered until the 2011–2012 model year.
Camaro with a 4 cylinder, how many people are gonna freak?

It's a wild concept, this 4-cylinder Camaro, but not too crazy...back in the day, both Camaros and Mustangs, as well as many other cars that had high-performance iterants, were available with inline 6 as a base engine. Undoubtedly, today's inline 4 is the equivalent of yesterday's inline 6.

After seeingthese Ecotec enginespowering a 200+MPH dragster @ over 1400 HP just a few weeks ago, I beleive this can be pulled off quite easily, but it better have a recharge plug for me to charge at my home, if they want me to buy one. I cannot be duped into supporting this continuum of fossil fuel addiction any longer. I find it unbelievable that Detroit has all these new muscle cars on the horizon, as gasoline breaks daily records fro price. I guess they all forgot about 1973, the first muscle car extinction, when tthey found the public wouldn't buy muscle cars with de-tuned engines for a slight increase in mileage.

The Camaro isn't going to tip the scales far from where our HHRs are. I think it's a smart move to use the 2.0 turbo engine in the new Camaro. One test drive will tell you that the performance is there, and with less front weight in a rear drive configuration......should handle VERY WELL. Lets see, capable of low 13 second 1/4 mile....top speed of 140+.....probably 1.0g on the skid pad and able to knock down 25 mpg....sounds like a winner to me.

In today's market, where US gas prices are finally forcing people to consider the reality of fuel economy, this could have an entirely different meaning.
Possible scenario:
"You mean I could style in a new Camaro, but still get 25 MPG? Hell yeah, where do I sign?"
