In other words, there are probably at least some customers who would have otherwise purchased a '16, but after the '17 1LE announcement decided to wait.
Just like now, people are going to wait for the '18 ZL1 1LE and not buy a '17 ZL1... Incentives are on the horizon.. and incentives cause depreciation.

The 2016 didn't sell well, but that wasn't because of the 2017 announcements. In fact I wouldn't have bought a Camaro at all if there was no SS 1LE.
1) The Camaro moved up in price point by a significant margin
2) It didn't look different enough from the older cheaper model
3) (Reason for discount) GM sucks at managing supply and demand. They always overproduce cars just to mark them down at the end of the MY. Doesn't matter whether it's a Silverado or a Cadillac or a Camaro or a Corvette.
