Hand over your Plums for this Camaro, You won’t Need’em

What is happening today?!?

I feel like I’ve woke up in the twilight zone today, what with the scion release this afternoon and now this. I can’t believe I’m about to write this, ……………… sorry, had to check calendar to make sure it’s not April Fools Day.
I feel like I’m being Punk’d, only it’s not by Ashton Kutcher, it’s by Bob Lutz, GM’s Vice Chairman.

What would you do that ‘Four’?

Ok, I can accept a V6 in a Camaro but a 4 cylinder, you can’t do that, it’s sacrilegious, you can not have a front wheel drive Camaro. It would no longer be a symbol of grunting American muscle, but more something you’d stick a rainbow sticker on.
Our Ole Buddy Bob has casually dropped in conversation that the Camaro, supposedly coming out next February now, could have the 2.0L four-banger currently in the Cobalt SS, Saturn Sky Redline, and the Solstice.
We can only hope the release date continues to be postponed so we don’t have to deal with this humiliation, Ford already tried this with the Mustang and that didn’t work.

It’s a Camaro!

So can we expect this 2.0L to be in next years Escalade too, the Yukon, ooooh the 2.0L with Flex Fuel, you know what, you could put them in the H2 and then maybe we can keep those around.
I guess what the good Bob giveth, the good Bob can taketh away.

(not the 4 cylinder)

Get Real Bob, It’s a Camaro! Please don’t turn it into a Ricer, “It’d be un-Amurican, and you’re in Amurica”.
