At Camaro Fest, Al basically said there wouldn't be an electric Camaro as long as he was there. Good.

What Al wants and what GM orders him to build are two very distinct things.

True, but he's got some serious influence on the direction of the program.

He's been their chief engineer since mid 2000s. Iron Duke existed in the 80s.

Al basically said no 4 cylinder Camaro. "We're not following Ford" referring to the 4 cylinder direction..... 6th gen has a 4 cylinder Camaro. So Ford has an electric Mustang concept, Al says no electric Camaro.... we shall see.

Al Oppenheiser also said this. Quote from June 2015 Hot Rod.

Hmm, maybe he'll be overruled as Fen mentioned. Or he was just playing to the crowd. I've also heard rumors of a C8 electric variant 'Vette which I thought i'd never see either. I just hope we can opt out.

Just asking. If the day comes that electric Ford Mustangs are killing Camaros at the strip are you going to still demand that Chevy make no electric Camaros? If Ford decides on an electric Mustang, that day will come pretty quick.

I'm not demanding anything. I just hope that we get a choice. But hell, I still prefer a manual transmission and I know it's slower.
