Chevy usually has the same relative body style, without any major changes for 4 to 5 years do to the cost of retooling and other variables. 5th gen is the best.

I wouldn't worry about buying one and waiting for a new body style, my guess that a new body style won't be until 2013 or later, and if then, they really can't do much better than the 5th gen style. If you like the body style, then just get it. |

The next gen Camaro will be on a new platform, possibly 2015.

Personally, I don't see them changing much other than small tweaks for quite awhile. I can see them adding a spoiler or changing the front slightly but no drastic changes for about a decade. the 5th gens are so much better than any other generations, I can't imagine them messing with a winner. when the sales start to drop drastically, then They will come out with the 6th gens

love. my. car.

When the body style changes it will be hard to improve upon the current styling. But if they do improve upon it, you can still be glad that your "late model" Camaro still looks better than the crap 99% of other cars on the road look like.

I think they are planning on changing from the Zeta platform to the smaller, lighter Alpha platform sometime around 2015-ish.
