6th Gen/50th Anniversary
Do you think the 2017 Camaro, "50th Anniversary" edition will still be the current 5th generation or the start of the 6th generation, if it doesn't begin earlier?...
The longest run of the same type models was Gen 2, which was 11yrs and Gen 3, was 10 yrs and Gen 4, 9yrs. So Gen 5 could go 10+yrs which would mean the 50th anniversary model would be Gen 5. However, it could be a good time to spin the model to Gen 6. Personally, I think the 50th anniversary model will be the Gen 5 model, why change something that is working and GM will have enough publicity with the 50th anniversary model, akin to the Vette's 60th anniversary marketing push. |

No chance it will be a Gen 5. Too much competition from other manufacturers will force a generation change.

I can imagine the 5th gen will still be around in 2017

I suspect it will be a 6th gen. 7 years is a long time for a car design to be carried without a major redesign.

I believe the 6th gen Camaro is expected in 2014 and a 2015 model.

Seems GM is around a 5 year +/- gen change for it's models these days so it most likely will be the next gen for the 50th

I read that tran had purchased the camaro6 domain. Is that true or just a rumor?
OP I bet it will be the 6th gen. Ford and dodge are pushing to hard for it not to be. Remember when the new camaro concept was introduced? Ford was sure to have a new model out by the release of the camaro in the 2010 model year.

To the best of my knowledge, GM has all but confirmed a Camaro reassign in 2015...

There are a lot of current owners that will not fit in the smaller lighter Gen6. Me for one.

Well the domain lookup on camaro6.com is private and so is camaro5.com so we're still really at a 50-50 chance lol
