Seems pretty obvious that there's a disconnect between the public that wants to buy a camaro and the price the camaro is sold at.
The real argument though, is if that's a problem with the price of the camaro, or with the income of the people who would buy it.
I'm leaning more towards the latter.
The only way to bring the price down on the camaro is if we lived in an alternate reality where GM unions didn't exist, GM as a company wasn't greedy for decades leading to tons of legal overhead and they really loved making cars for people and didn't feel the need to make a huge profit margin per unit. The alternative is to build it with crappier parts so it's cheaper and that would just end up pushing that purchasing public to other cars.
Instead, i'm pretty sure the problem is the erosion of the middle class, the increase cost of living for the remaining and an unstable job market where you're not able to depend on working at a single place for decades until retirement anymore. Those are things car companies can't fix. And it's why they will continue to suffer as the market begins contracting in the near future.
