The positive in all of this is that it has Camaro fans attention and hopefully GM's. If they walk away from this market segment again I think it will have have a negative impact across their entire lineup. |

It seems to me the chassis of the 6th Gen is advanced enough that there doesn't need to be a big rush for the next generation. It's already dynamically superior to the competition and there is an opportunity to loose more mass, but aside from that, if GM were to keep pushing to make pricing and content more available, and add more trims (i.e. LT1), then people will keep coming. It costs resources and money to do all of this, but if they pay attention to the success of the competition, hopefully they'll find their way to success for Camaro.

We could band together, buy the Camaro trademarks, buy one of GM's abandoned plants and start making it ourselves, they way we want, you know, 2000HP, luxury interior, 50MPG, all USA sourced parts and labor, and a $30,000 MSRP
and yes, that's a bit of hyperbole.

I hope the Camaro - and all high performance cars - can stick around. I'm hoping mine will last me a good 10 years. I would feel very fortunate if I'm able to keep driving a sports car that long.

But I take it they want the advantage of the 7th gen coming to market later than the competition. May work, may not. The team that designed the Challenger should get some kind of prize. Not common for a platform to maintain sales like that without a major redesign. Last edited by ctrlz; 06-26-2019 at 09:49 AM. |

Doesn't the value of our cars go up if they stop making new models for a few years?

If that were the case the 4th Gen F-body cars would have gone up in value..at best the only cars that actually retained their value were the SS's and other very limited production cars |

Exactly. And the problem is that this is becoming more and more prevalent. There are people who want the public to think a certain way and as such they resort to these methods. I'm no Trump supporter...but I gotta say, dude was right on the money when he said "fake news". |

Even the SS/WS6/Firehawks have to be extremely low mileage and showroom condition to command any amount of money these days. Most of the higher priced I see are exactly that, or modded to the moon and probably well above what they would really command to anyone other than another enthusiast drag racer not looking to build.

GM said it is Shelved, That alone will kill sales, watch them drop over the next 6 month's. The new LT1 is their way of reducing V8 engine stock. The Z/28 was used to eliminate the stock of LS7 engines. Also the 2020 election will change the direction of automobiles in this country forever. Car companies are trying to read the Tea leaves, I am sure its shelved until the election! The auto industry does not want to get caught going in the wrong direction!!!
