I don't think GM could keep selling both Camaros and Corvettes even if they were both in high demand and selling over 100k per year per model and still meet EPA CAFE requirements. GM needs to balance out the 20 mpg gas engines in Caddys and Corvettes with EV sales to meet the EPA CAFE requirement of something like 50 mpg avg. for cars in 2026... They can't sell too many gas models ...is why there won't be another gas Camaro. Only other option would be to pay 100s of $millions in fines like Kuniskis did selling Challengers and Chargers and not meeting CAFE fleet average numbers... Hence why he is gone and so are Hemis.
Ford doesn't have another V8 sports car besides the Mustang to drag down the mpg avg, so they can balance out the average with Mach-Es. Also Ford has a car guy as CEO, which helps. Can't say the same for GM.
