Most often it happens when the coupe shares the same wheelbase as the sedan (I don't remember seeing what GM did with that, one way or the other). Its like that on the CTS coupe, as well as on my Grand Am -both of which have the same wheelbase as the sedans.
I see what you mean, it's really obvious in the first live shot of the ATS coupe in blue. I know Zeta was shorted by 2.5 inches between Commodore and the Camaro. I wonder how the ATS coupe would have looked if it had a 106.8 inch wheelbase (and what that would have meant for the 6th gen ).

EDIT: While I still think the 6th gen Camaro would be better served based off the ATS's wheelbase. I suppose it would work out based off a shortened CTS (i.e. 112" plus or minus a couple of tenths), assuming of course GM can keep a decent amount of weight loss (i.e. 8% or so).
