I still don't understand, but I'll pick out a couple specific bits that I find most difficult:

Can you rephrase that, or include more background info? I'm intrigued and want to understand. You are willing to sacrifice space to get the V8 Camaro, but (I'm guessing at some missing info here) only if it has a significant MPG advantage over your current car?

GM has the G8, but then forces you into a automatic.
The G8 shouldn't even make your list for that reason, and doesn't make mine.

So...I'm thinking I can't consider the Camaro because as much as I love it's looks, I don't want one without a V8.
See, here's a common attitude that I can't wrap my brain around: People would rather have no Camaro than a fast V6 Camaro (with more power than a classic V8).

I'm just voicing how I view my outlook on buying a GM. The G8 GT has 1k off and I can get almost employee pricing so I'd love to consider it, but then I'd be stuck with the dang automatic.
You don't want an automatic...don't waste your time thinking about the G8.

Is the Charger offered with a V8 and manual transmission? That might fit your needs, but then you'd be stuck driving a (yuck) Dodge...
