says gen 6 went for higher price and less volume compared to gen 5 lower price and higher volume.
sure hope gm brings it back using the next gen small blocks.
wonder if the lansing factory still has space for production of a next gen camaro if they would bring it back, all they are going to have there is the CT5 since the CT4 is going away too.

I remember a few years ago seeing the list of vehicles that were profitable for GM and there were only 6 on that list. The only cars were DTS, Corvette and Impala. Pickups and FSSUVs carried the weight. That’s wh6 GM went bankrupt. FST and SUV sales tanked and there just wasn’t enough cash flow t9 pay the bills. Camaro was not in production at that time, but it wasn’t profitable in 2001.
