Just as the 3.8 will be cross shopped with cars that are alike. We need to step out of our Camaro box and realize how the average person sees automobile purchases on a broader plane than how car fanatics shop.
IMHO, the V6 Genesis is the only car that seriously compares to the V6 Camaro once you get into the Camaro LT range. The V6 Challenger and Mustang can't match it in pricing, options, and power. The Genesis V6 does, especially in some certain sweet spots.

I'm in one of those sweet spots myself...

The 1LT with the C&C package and spare tire has everything I want...except leather seats which aren't even an option in the 1LT trim--and I want leather very very much. It's $25,245 optioned as best as I can get it. The base Genesis V6 has all of the Camaro's C&C options standard PLUS standard leather seats. And it's only 505 bucks more at $25,750.

To get leather in the Camaro, I have to get the 2LT, and add in a bunch of stuff I don't want. And it comes to $27,480. That's a huge difference in price and includes stuff I don't need.

So that's going to make thing interesting when it comes time to buy...
