Only situation where I see engines like that making sense are in something like the Hyundai Sonata where the car is designed around not having a V6. The engine bay is optimized for only one engine which simplifies the engineering as well as production and saves weight in the process. But if the Camaro is going to have a V8 anyway, you'd lose those benefits.

So to go with a T4 as the base engine, you add cost for the engine, add cost for the platform, and then don't add any value to the customer? How does that make any sense?
Can't really say. We'll just have to wait and see.
