Main points:
  • GM planned an Alpha-2 Camaro.
  • Development of an Alpha-2 Camaro was underway, with continuation of the "chopped look" according to sources from within GM (via GMinsider discussion and other sources).
  • GM then halted development and disbanded the engineering team.

Conclusion:
If the Camaro6, like the Camaro5 before it, were outselling the Mustang then an Alpha-2 Camaro would still be in development.
Other speculation:
  • CAFE uncertainty may have been the last straw (yet the CT4/5 and C8 development were inexplicably unaffected by this uncertainty).
  • GM may eventually do a VSS-R sport coupe after 2025.
  • A VSS-R sport coupe may or may not be called a "Camaro" and it may or may not be an EV.
Why would the Camaro have to outsell the Mustang for them to have continued development?
