Generation 1 = 3 years
Generation 2 = 12 years
Generation 3 = 11 years
Generation 4 = 10 years

Yeah, Generation 5 should at least get a few more years.

THIS REPORT IS COMPLETELY FALSE! Nothing but dying-auto-mag speculation to make news. I am not at liberty to tell you much (unfortunately), but 2014-2015 is waaaaaay too soon to throw away the Zeta-based Camaro for a brand new model.

Remember fellow enthusiasts.... every single vehicle gets what we call a "MCE", which means a Mid-Cycle Enhancement. This is done towards the middle-to-end of a vehicle's life cycle to keep it fresh and keep people interested in the model until the "brand-new" one arrives.

Even though GM has released the convertible, and soon the ZL1, there have been no "face-lifts" yet. The 2012 interior update is quite rare in this industry, but still is not a "facelift" per say. I would expect this MCE to debut at the time that the article suggests. But no way in hell would a brand new Camaro on a new platform be introduced that soon.

Auto journalists constantly speculate, based on illegal tips they receive from "insiders". When they dont have any news to report, they often make wild speculations. Think about how many times they've told you the next Corvette will be mid-engined. And how many times is it????? Yea.... thats what I thought. Take everything you read with a grain of salt.

Dont let this "speculation" prevent you from buying a 5th-gen Camaro. Because the 6th-gen is plenty far out. IF anything, you can expect a revised 5th-gen within the next 3-5 years. Once that debuts.... THEN you can start making educated guesses about the 6th gen.

I agree. V6 Camaro is already at 30 MPG with 300HP. And the SS isn't all that far behind in MPG.

So why then, can you only get 30mpg in a Malibu with a 4 cylinder engine and 190 HP?

Malibu: A totally new sedan, the 2013 Malibu is slated to go on sale in mid-2012 and will be sold more than 100 countries on six continents. The main powertrain for our shores will be a 2.5-liter inline-four with 190 hp, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The combo is said to return up to 30 mpg. First, though, Chevrolet will launch the Malibu Eco, the first Chevy to use GM’s new eAssist hybrid technology. As seen on Buick models, eAssist will help the Malibu Eco return up to 38 mpg on the highway. The Eco debuts in early 2012

This isn't the 70s, 80s, and 90s anymore. The competition is moving and GM needs to as well.

The report is wrong. The 2.5L will do at least 33 MPG, maybe more.

The DI really boosts mpg

Let's make sure we make decisions that allow people to reverse these draconian regulations.

We have CAFE standards that work at cross purposes with safety standards. Brilliant!

Reminds me of how they banned Mercury vapor streetlights to help reduce mercury in the environment and made Mercury Vapor CFLs mandatory inside the house to reduce carbon emissions by some unmeasurably miniscule amount!

Hooray!

The only good that can come out of this is to make the Camaro lighter. The current generation should really weigh the same as the mustang, but understandably there were some compromises.

With luck the 6th gen will have these compromises addressed.

I'll betch ya Klondike Bar your wrong. All logic points to a 2015 Gen6.
1) New Mustang in 2014 - most important
2) CAFE standards
3) Alpha platform needing to share costs across other models
4) Global appeal to other markets
