That would be a plan if we haven't already seen things become "mandatory options".

One cant realistically dismiss the fact that the Corvette name has substantially more cachet in the automotive world than Camaro. Especially to "the masses". It's for that very reason why you may see...

Well, cars in general are niche in the NA market they typically sale at about 27% of all sales vs trucks and SUVs/CUVs. Performance coupes are a niche within that niche, then gm took Camaro...

It really is, but for how many years has the Camaro been metaphorically "stuffed in the corner"? It's a testament to the capability of it at its launch, that it still holds up, in the metrics of...

That's really interesting. I wonder if the "lack" of the 2.0T is an effort to not only simplify the manufacturing line, but to also utilize as many longitudinal LGX's as possible, if I'm correct, no...

You don't want 4.0 anyway. I think to run that, the chassis has to use Global B architecture. The Camaro's Alpha chassis is still running Global A, which is far easier to tune than B is.

I'd bet there wont be more than 14k total produced and that's generous, since it'll be an abbreviated production year.

Maybe 30% will be V8's, so about 4200 units. Of those, I have no idea what...

Back to the main topic, what all is really expected beyond the known "new" fender badging?



Unique stitching on the seats, a small plaque on the dash, unique striping/decals?

I'm sure you're very correct in all that you mentioned. But the real issue is how many others have had the chance (or desire) to directly compare the two before buying? The mass of those buying are...

To be fair, FCA, and now Stellantis, have had to constantly throw everything they can at the old LA/LD platforms to keep them relevant. Which, objectively, they've done magnificently.

This ^


I said almost the exact same thing earlier.





From a pure marketing paradigm, it just makes the most sense.

That's not really fair. The 6th gen came out swinging for the fences, and it hit plenty of home runs. It just had a few too many "daily usability" compromises for the masses. What was worse than that...

There's money on the line to be made with EVs, especially in CUV form. gm knows that and they're not going to leave it on the table if they can get it into their pockets. Remember with the Ultium...

Maybe it's meant to bridge the name to one they'll use on the likely EV Camaro. Similar to Dodge adding "Banshee" to the Daytona Charger EV.

Maybe we'll see a 2026 Chevrolet Camaro SS Panther EV....

I wonder how far they'll "stretch" the nameplate with EVs. I wonder if gm is waiting for them all to be ready to launch at once, or if it's something else.

Coupe, likely.

Sedan, maybe?
