The only thing keeping me from getting a 2016 LT/RS is the fact that the back seat is just too small. Being that I can barely fit 1 child seat in the back of my 2014, there's no way in the future I could fit 2 comfortably. It really not practical for even a front seat passenger with the child carrier in place.

But with that said, I still like the new camaro very much. The 4cyl actually would be something I would consider. The current 3.6l v6 isn't that bad and actually does make the car fun enough for a daily driver. My old sky had a 2.0T and was quick(yes lighter i know) and my moms ATS sedan has the 2.0T and moves out pretty well. I wonder if the current 2.0T responds to mods just as well and the 2.0 LNF ecotech turbo motors did.

Last night I priced out a few combos of the camaro. A great base daily driver came in at like 28k and change. Thats a 2.0 LT with the RS package. My current '14 is an LS model and I really wanted the RS package but I wasn't willing to spend the extra money. In order to get the rs package, you needed at least an LT model(~3k more than a LS), and then another 1500 for the rs package. I ended up just buying used RS lights front and rear and installed them, along with a spoiler and body color roof molding overlays. So for 2016, I like that they did away with the pointless LS package.

Since the fact the car is simply a 2-door, that is what will prevent me from getting one anytime soon. Instead I'll be looking at some used performance 4 door sedans when my lease is up, like a 09+ CTS-V. But I do wish I could get a 6th gen camaro.
