They'll of course redesign the body/interior, so it would be premature to call it ugly. However, a smaller and lighter platform can only mean good things for performance as the current Camaro is a bit on the pudgy side.

Now if all three pony cars could get down to the 3200-3400lb range, that would be ideal and not unrealistic. That would be a small stretch for the Stang (~200lbs) but a bigger one for the Camaro (300-400lbs) but a long stint at the fat farm for the Challenger (600+ lbs)

I could deal with the 3400-3600 range and be very happy with it especially with a 426+ HP V8 in it. The 4th gen's were in that range with much less power and are still viable. 400+ horses and 3500 lbs would be fun.

I hope this starts a "weight reduction war" among the Pony cars - heck, among all American cars. Tired of seeing ever-increasing vehicle weights due to all the ICE/safety features being added.

Let GM fools dream on.
The government might let them build Caddys and Corvettes, but they will pressure them to get rid of the V8 Camaro altogether IMO.

So long as there's a v6 contingent, even "if" they had that much say so in day to day affairs, I doubt that would happen.

Bigger picture: If that's what the future holds for Camaros, you can bet it'll be the same for Mustangs.
