Wouldn't Mike be someone w authority? I thought he said they would stop producing Camaros at his plant in 2015 or something. Couple that with GMs announcement that 6th gen Camaros will be produced in America. It makes sense that that's when the 6th will come out.

I agree with the dealer being full of crap.
however GM history shows us that the typical life span of a given design or model is 6 - 7 years.

The Rumormill says that the car appeared as a 2016 MY in internal systems.....take that for what it's worth...
From my perspective...the car is selling well enough, and performing awesome enough...to not need to rush a new generation out the door... |

Not to diminish Mike's comments, but Scott, Cheryl, Al or Ed etc would have more authority. Upper management has the details and won't be talking out of turn.

About a week later, i dove by the dealer and saw a whole row of 12s right out front... Dealers want your money NOW! Theyll tell you whatever crap they can come up with if they think it will help.

This is long winded, bear with me.
I wouldn’t believe too much of what these dealers are telling you. Like others have said these guys only want to sell cars, they will tell you anything to get you to put an order in for one. I talked to a salesman here where I live (I have known this guy for about 15 years) about future updates to the Camaro (6th gen. ZL1 body changes and the upgraded engine option). His response was that he doesn’t get too much information about car design or changes until the car is almost released. He said there is probably more information on the car forums and internet than what he could give me. The only problem I could see about waiting to order a car would be with the ZL1 in 2012. Some orders were pushed into the 2013 build cycle and instead of getting a 2012 order the car was slated for a 2013 order. This is probably one of the reasons I am going to put in an order for a ZL1 sooner than later. I like the current design of the car. I already know I will be playing the waiting game and if I have to wait for one I want it to be in the current body style. I can’t remember where I read this, but the article went on to say the 5th generation Camaro has been selling very well with its current design; and the fact that the engineers had their work cut out for them if they were going to improve the look of the current car. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is some department at GM headquarters (not to mention all the other car manufactures) that monitors forums like these to see what the consensus is on car changes etc. It makes you wonder if they throw bits and pieces on the net to see what kind of reaction they will get as well. Anyway sorry for the length but I had to throw in my 2 cents worth. Note: Sorry I focused on the ZL1; I know you are going to order a 1le. This information would probably apply to both cars.

And just keep in mind - the ZL1 was originally just going to be offered in the manual transmission. We, Camaro5, convinced them to offer it with both transmissions. |

The last GM meeting my friends were told the 2015 model car is the new 6th gen body style. I plan on dumping both my 2010 and 2013 then. :-)

I agree, why change it if it's still so popular! and GM is still making its biggest revenue from the Camaro and still outselling the Mustang
If the GM Design Team needs some inspiration for the next 6th Gen, here is my own concept I made , what do you guys think ? Inspired from the new 2014 Corvette with the new LEDs , new curved lines... |
