I believe/hope GM creates something wonderful that will challenge most in this site. But having worked there for 25 years I understand the trepidation,

Not going ev (again, as I currently have a Tesla that I want to sell)

GM should let the Camaro name die in peace. It should never be associated with an EV. It would be an insult to all of the great ICE Camaros. GM should find a new name.

I agree. Let the nameplate live on in it's true legacy.

Whatever the VSS-R platform becomes I’d like to think they’d have a coupe for it. The presentation while back GM did with their one of their electrification announcements had outlines of all their electric/planned electric cars and one that matched the Camaro sillouette so that’s my only hope

An electric Camaro will be gross. I hope it fails.

So...call it the Panther?

My problem with electrics is WOT range. If you have seen the Tesla charge use per lap a guy made when he tracked his 3, a bone stock 90 Miata would kill it in a 1 hour race

Is that a very challenging task to try to sell a used EV? It seems like it would be. You expecting to loose your ass selling it? Again, seems like that would be the case.

Just be glad you’re not a young person starting out in today’s economy. You’re being priced out of new cars and new homes.

People who used to be in the market for starter homes are now hoping they can afford a double wide trailer. People who used to be in market for an entry level new car now hope they can afford a decent used car.

Follow that path and you realize people who in the past were in the market for a trailer or used car now can’t afford either.

This is not an accident.

Agreed. I've been saying since the first hints that Queen Mary reassigned Mark Reuss from Corvette/Camaro team development to the new electric development team that this was gonna happen, and I'd rather the Camaro name die completely than go on anything that doesn't make noise and at least give you the option to row your own gears.

Don Yenko is rolling in his grave right now with what's going on with the Camaro nameplate.

The Camaro name should end when they stop putting internal cumbustion engines in them. Just like when they stopped using Z28 when the supercar Camaro went away from NA and switched supercharged motors. But, sadly, I could see GM continuing to use the Camaro name on an electrik vehicle. Use an iconic name to try to market something few people want. Like the SUV Mustang. Silverado used to be a top level trim package on the 1500 trucks. Now all 1500 trucks are silverados, including low trim level trucks.

Oh you mean like every other generation that came before them? Welcome to adult hood, the younger generation are not the first, and won't be the last. It is called the American Dream. Rich get richer, poor get poorer and the middle class disappears.
