This right here. Have you seen Camaro's on lots? Have you seen how many people post about their orders and no allocations? GM has chosen to not build that many Camaro's. So obviously the numbers sold are small. Period.

Yea i believe they are limiting the numbers they are producing for personal orders.
I know of 12 Camaros between the 3 dealerships near my place( within 30km of each other ). Just depends what you want in the car.

IMO buying/building a car like this should only be for personal orders and not just dealership lot cars sitting around. But thats just my opinion because i dont like seeing to many of the same car over and over lol.

I enjoy having the only 81 in my area of the color it is, and so far ill be the only 1LE Rapid Blue in the area(that i have ever seen anyways). Maybe its just me but I enjoy knowing that i didnt buy a dime a dozen car. Make the car feel more special?? I donno maybe im just weird lol

Their loss, it's a better car than both of them. GM is just ass at marketing the Camaro.

In those 45 years I have never seen a coherent marketing strategy from this company. Corvettes and trucks pretty much sell themselves and yet get tons of ad money thrown at them. Everything else gets gets thrown out and if it sells, great, if not, wait till next year.

When the new big block came out in 2001 and was freaking fantastic with the Allison trans do you think they even tried to sell them? Not a chance. All they cared about was selling the rattle rattle, clank clanks. The fact that there was always a market for a heavy duty 3/4 or one ton truck that was 8 grand less than the oil burner was lost on them and a great power train died. Idiots.

These folks do a better job marketing the Camaro than GM, LOL.

Yup, both my Camaro and the wife's Saturn Sky are spending the winter holed up in our garage. Makes me sad each time I walk by them. Not only do they take up all the space in our garage, but it's a pain having to wait until the weather gets nice before we can take them out again.

Luckily, I just bought a 2019 Ford Fiesta ST as a new daily. Had heard a lot of great things about the car, and the previous owner (a Ford technician, no less) had already done a number of performance mods to it which makes it even more fun to drive! Still, it isn't the same as the Camaro and I'm looking forward to the day I can bring her out again!

I like seeing less ZL1s than GT500s, but not at the expense of GM cancelling the Camaro again. That said, all the rumors of cancellation are just that at this point. As far as I know GM hasn’t officially cancelled Camaro. Let’s hope they don’t.

As far as Mustangs vs. Camaros…around here at car meets Mustangs are a dime a dozen. I’ll be the only or one of a handful of 6th Gen Camaros compared to 12-15 s550 Mustang GTs and other trims. There’s comraderie in that, but it definitely feels less special when compared to the ZL1.

When was the last time, anyone has been able to find the Camaro they wanted in a dealer's lot? They are not making Camaros, so yeah, sales are going to be low, it's common sense.
I like to have options, and you don't have any with Camaros. You can't negotiate because if you don't go with the price they are giving you, then you don't have any, and the closest similar to what you want may be 800 miles away. If not, you have to order and wait for 6 month, and when you get it, the dealer now tries to jack up the price, also the interest rates are up to the roof so what you thought you had in your budget when you first ordered went up by the time you get it.
People want Camaros, but GM is just not building them because they are falling for the bs woke agenda to build electric cars and make us oil free. My next car will be a Mustang Dark horse if GM does not build a new Camaro.

I like the fact that 1LEs are rare too. I may get a GT500 at some point but it will in addition to the 1LE, not to replace it. I plan to hang on to this car.
