I don't think that will be much of a problem...............certainly not in the performance catagory. I don't know much about the car other than the pics I have seen and from those I can tell that it is not a looker. The question is: what options are on that car to make it "extremly well equiped"?

A four cylinder with 5-speed manual is also available.

But what we have here is a loaded coupe, with high tech engine for substantially less than $24K.
We were previously talking about a "Berlinetta" type car taking on these competitors.....maybe the base Camaro needs to.

Nice interior! I prefer ***** for the climate control and radio though. Still looks real nice with the accents.
It's also nice to see a navigation system in a car less than $24,000....I can't count the times that I'd love to have a similar system. I've moved 7 times in 5 years so I'm always trying to find my way around!

I don't think so at all.
It's FWD for one, and the styling is the complete oposite of a Camaro - current or 5th gen. Bloaty, big-assed and just not very sportscar-alike. A gussied up Camry.
People who buy the base camaros either (a) know what a Camaro means and want a v8 but can't afford the extra and/or insurance OR (b) don't really know much about f-bod & Camaro heritage and muscle and performance but think it looks sporty / somewhat aggressive / fast. which suits their lifestyle.
Either way the reason they even give an f-bod conisderation for a new purchase is because of a) or b).
People buy Toyotas like Camry and whatnot 'cos they don't want to stand out from the crowd and the cars are supposed to be stolid and reliable.
This is why this bland, tedious Camry sibling is no future base 5th gen competitor. The Mustang and to a lesser extent EVO, WRX/STI etc fulfil that role nicely. If GM is going to take market share from anyone with a *successful* 5th gen - it will be Ford and then Mistu, Subaru. and perhaps Madza (RX8).
