Default RE: Four-cylinder Camaro - the miserly muscle car

Interesting points.

I think that the big V8s days are numbered. As soon as the new CAFE standards go into effect, we will see mostly 4 and 6 cylinder turbo-powered engines in American "muscle cars."

What I thought was interesting was GM's comment about the pricing of the new Camaro.
Lutz said that it will be priced higher than the Mustang but "better equipped". This means that the Challenger's competition will be as follows:

V6 Mustang- $20,235
V6 Camaro- $20,235+

V6 Challenger- low $20s

V8 GT- $26,825
V8 Camaro- $26,825+

If Dodge wants to stay competitive with these cars, it will sell the Challengers for:

SE- $22,000
R/T- $28,000
SRT- $37,000
