INNER VOICE ONE: Lord help me, but I kind of want a V-6 Camaro.

INNER VOICE TWO: Er...what? Come again?

I.V. ONE: Yep, that's right. A Camaro. Without a V-8.

I.V. TWO: What are you, a kindergarten teacher?

I.V. ONE: Uh, no...

I.V. TWO: A grandmother?

I.V. ONE: No...

I.V. TWO: A hobo. That's it. You must be a hobo. Or maybe a decorator. Interiors? That your thing? Wait - did someone give you roofies? Can you even hear me now? What's your name? Do you know where you are?

I.V. ONE: No! Yes! I mean no! You know what I mean! Hey! Seriously!

I.V. TWO: Yeah, sure. Right. Whatever. Look, I don't have time for this. Lots of manly stuff to do and all that. Busy schedule. Call me when the 400-horse V-8 drops, willya?

Awesome news! The V6 Camaro is the key to a long production cycle for this car. I am glad it is getting the press it deserves.

GM has left out an entire niche out of their marketting plan though - the "Gearhead Spouse" factor. A good gearhead will get his wife a V6 car and tell her it is a great balance between power and fuel economy. And she will like it because it looks good. Go V6!
