As for the DI being put into the Camaro...I think this has been discussed before: probably not as the base engine. But if it's a real hit in the fat caddy...I can see it being used as a High-feature V6. But, who knows...
Thats part of the reason why GM cars end up with good value. They have high end lines that cover the cost of development and then pass down some of the things that work well into the lower levels. Other companies just can't do that to the same degree
