I take issue with the argument that the Camaro was a design "failure". We have all suffered through this so-called argument as if it's an accepted fact that must be agreed to simply because it's been non-stop repeated by a few, or maybe just one, actually...lol...Someone with a grudge against Ed Welburn is not the last word on how the Camaro should have been built.
Take it or leave it. The Camaro stood on it's own. It never had to be a car for everyone. It outsold Challenger for many years even with the so-called design flaws. The Challenger advertised the crap out of their car, and sales took off for them.
GM ads are the most cringe-worthy ever made (Remember "Real People" ads?...lol) Thank goodness the Camaro was not showcased in those. Sales might have gotten worse...lol...
IMO Camaro tried to distance itself from the retro-vibe (which made it a success and sales leader) whereas Dodge and Mustang did not.
All moot now. GM will kill anything they make with no logical reasoning. And they will advertise needlessly on losers like Cadillac. Advertising is a waste of money these days. Others do it for them for free.
