But aren't the residual values of the car already bad? or is it the residual that much different from resale value?
This ^ CT5 and Camaro need each other to survive. How much did omega cost GM to develop and now the only car that was on it is gone after 3 model years.

The CT6 is NOT dead. It is and will continue to be built in China. Just not here.
Also the Cruze continues in Mexico and China, just not here. Like the Buick Verano which is not only still in production, it’s an all new model. Just not here.

The reason sales are low is because Chevy makes stupid decisions like not advertising and believing people will beat a path to its door. And some people don't even know what a Camaro is....some don't know they are back in production. Chevy has made absolutely no attempt to correct that. Its a nice car but GM has stupid upper management who should be managing a Burger King not an Auto Manufacturing outfit.

You are making excuses. The Camaro is not a Miata (actual sports car) or Corvette for that matter. In a world were everyone is abandoning sedans for SUVs a coupe will need to offer more, not less practicality to survive. GM can’t afford the development dollars for multiple low volume coupes.
The issue isn’t really whether GM keeps the Camaro in production. It needs to simply to help LGR. The issue is whether GM finds the ROIC for doing a Gen7.
And it’s far, far from a Camaro issue. GM has problems on all models getting recognition in the market. On the coasts GM market share was, last I saw data, sometimes below 10%. That is pathetic. I remember seeing data that many didn’t even know GM made cars. Thought they made pickups.
