I expect that it is a frequent topic of discussion in the Product Development and Marketing conference rooms. If they want to position it as an M3 / Giulia competitor on the top end, four doors will not hurt it. And let's not forget, Dodge Charger will still have four doors with performance engines available.
I feel that the people that would buy a 4 door V8 Camaro would look at and buy regardless of what the name was. Where as you would have people not buy it because it is a 4 door Camaro. So personally, I feel like there is nothing to gain, only lose, by doing so. So using a different name such as an Impala SS or Caprice SS could potentially draw in more buyers.
