Sounds like we are still 6+ months from seeing the Camaro and a year or more from it hitting dealer lots.

Not necessarily...there are four more Chevrolets to be revealed this year. I have a hard time believing GM will not have anything at New York. Chicago, maybe, since it's been pretty lame for years now.

Plus if the timeline I'm thinking is still correct, the two vehicles that are probably farthest out are E2XX Malibu and the new Spark. It would make sense to reveal both later in the year.

I also think the NSX looks very good. It's a very cohesive design.. At least to me. The Ford GT looks STRIKING.. Just makes me go "WOW", but I don't think overall it's as beautiful.. If that makes any sense. Can't wait to see both come Saturday.

I would consider the Camaro reveal one of the main reveals. It may not sell as many as the Spark and Malibu but I have never heard anyone get excited to see a new Spark.

The Ford GT....its not a Mustang. Its a true supercar.

Yea , I know what the Ford. GT is! Even though I would take the GT350 over it! Just didn't recognize it by just GT!

This is most likely accurate as the 2016 Camaro will be produced in a new plant so there is no down time for re-tooling and the 2016 Camaro is 100% going to be the first year of the gen 6. The odds of a late production release are slim to none; could it happen, of course. It should be for sale at the end of the year, GM does not want a short production run for the first year because they want to sell as many as possible.

If they were going to have the car hit dealer lots before 2016, they would have to allow orders right after it was revealed.

GM said reveals will be the second half of 2015. The car won't be on lots until 2016. They must have some reason for holding the car back but I doubt we will ever know.

The wording is up for interpretation. The article says it will be introduced in the second half of 2015. Introduced and revealed do not mean the same thing necessarily. Introduced can mean available for purchase.

Ok have to jump in.

Just because they aren't telling us about the car now, oh impatient ones, in NO WAY means it's late or being held back. No one ever said Fall 2015. That is an archaic notion that all new cars launch in the Fall. I will bet you it is absolutely on time. Again go to web. Check the time from first spy shots on any car (not mules) and you have a year and a half. That says late this year. Not because anyone thinks it should be sooner, but because that is how long it takes to test, develop, and prepare for manufacturing.

NOT being held back. No evidence to suggest that at all. None, zip, zero, nada.

The first spy shots I am aware of were from August last year. One and a half years from then would be February next year. My understanding is the next model year starts in the summer. That means the 2016 model year 6th gen may be very short. That's what I meant by held back, even if it was the incorrect wording.

5th gen was revealed in July 2008 and started production in February 2009 for the 2010 model year. Maybe there won't be a 2016 Camaro after all.

Technically, the "next model year" can start on January 2nd, so right now a manufacturer could introduce a 2016 model. Recent instances of such nonsense include the 2007 Camry, on sale in January '06, and, if you go back to January of '96, Ford was selling brand new freshly-built old-style '96 and new-style '97 F150s.

As for "maybe there won't be a 2016 Camaro after all": REALLY?!

I don't mean no 6th generation. I meant they could start producing the cars as 2017 50 anniversary cars.

The examples you listed show it has happened with other cars. Also, the Corvette skipped a model year, if I recall correctly.
