GM did not say that. Someone who knows someone, who claim sources said that. Hell, I could claim I have sources. It was easy click bait and sadly a few major outlets ran the story. GM wouldnt even publicly admit to mid engine Vette until just very recently, long after plenty of spy pics made the rounds.
The long and short of this, is...the Camaro outsells its platform mates combined by a large margin. Going alone on Alpha.2 and production at Grand River, the CT4/5 are the ones that wouldn't have made it. In 2002, the Camaro was on a niche chassis with no other chassis options, it was made in Canada and the F car chassis did not meet new 2003 crash regulations for the roof. Its slow sales was the final nail, it had nowhere to go but dead. Fast forward to 2019, even at its slow sales pace, it the best selling, most recognizable nameplate on a state of the art chassis. Why would GM bail on that. Thats just not logical.
