This was posted a few days ago. Unfortunately, the C&D article seems to be entirely conjecture. For example, it assumes a 4-cylinder base from the CT4-V, which would I suppose compete with the EcoBoost Mustang. But a V6 seems just as likely
>**4 cylinder is more likely for European** market
Camaro will keep a 2.7L ~300 hp turbo inline-4 as the worldwide base motor, replacing the n/a V6, while the V8s will do the heavy lifting.
You might think that, but they offered the 4 Cyl and V8 Option for the European Camaro 6 and the 4 Cyl sales tanked hard. Barely anybody bought this car since if you buy an American pony in Europe you usually want the V8 too.
Smart happened to the mustang, they tried to market the Ecoboost with different approach and special models, but in the end they cancelled the Ecoboost model for Europe entirely so you can only order the V8 models
The US won't remove tariffs or import restrictions because the US companies are "asleep at the wheel." Remember, too, the Japanese and Koreans don't want them here, either.
Transportation is one of the biggest household expenditures. We can save people 10% easily by simply allowing competition. GM wants a new V8 Camaro in 2028 and protectionism that amounts to another bailout? Enough.
Americans refuse to buy EVs en masse at this point. The idea that bringing in even cheaper EVs sold at a price intended to put non-Chinese companies under will have a positive effect is silly
I don't think he claims they are so good it is unfair. It's the quality to construction cost ratio of the particular vehicle he mentioned. Again, China controls costs because they control every level of supply.
This is simply cope. The Big 3 are focusing on V8 Camaros on legacy tech when the technology in the cars and in the factories is getting reinvented. Firms like Tesla and Rivian are nearly keeping pace with the Chinese with a fraction of the resources of the Big 3. The Big 3 simply are stacking short term profits and hoping for another bailout in the form of protectionism.
Stellantis did a huge EV push as did GM. There isn't even a new Camaro announced. If there is, it'll be a niche product like all Camaros have been. It's like saying VW or BMW are focused on V8s.
I was paying more for gas 4 years ago in 2022 than I am now.
Gas prices are high right now, but they're not even close to reaching 2022 levels of absurdity.
If we get a new Camaro this is how I hopefully see it:
Camaro LS: Base model, gets the 2.7 from the CT4 (310hp; 350lb-ft)
Camaro LT: Standard 2.7 liter, but the 3.6 twin turbo V6 from the CT4 Blackwing is optional (472hp; 445lb-ft)
Camaro 1SS/2SS: Will share the same 6.7 liter LS6 from the new C8 Grand Sport (535hp; 520lb-ft)
Camaro ZL1: Will share the same 5.5 liter LT6 from the C8 Z06 (670hp; 460lb-ft)
"worth waiting for"
Fuck that, Common Car journo L kind of take for a clickbait-slop of a headline.
With a segment that is absolutely not growing, the best sports cars are the ones you (whatever your situation is) can buy now.
Get out and enjoy your sports cars, don't waste your life comparing stats read online.
No it doesn't.
What will it have that you can't get with previous Gen or Mustang or Previous Gen Challenger?
If it is worth waiting, the changes will also probably make it much more expensive.
GM Authority says it will be some form of sedan, and that GM has not committed to even calling it a Camaro. Just that it's a "Camaro replacement"
I think it's just as likely it will be named Impala, Malibu, or Bel Air
I think a RWD Impala would be just as likely IF the Buick rumor weren't out there. If I'm looking at an Impala, I'm just as likely to look at a Buick. It would be dumb to make a RWD Chevy sedan when the Buick exists
Just giving my opinion, but it sounds like an opportunity for them to cash in on the Grand National name. I doubt it would be a worthy successor, but I wouldn’t put it past them to do something like that.
Fair, does give the idea that they could ‘covert’ the CT-4 into a base model Grand National or Regal then offer a V6 version as the GNX. Probably makes too much sense for them.
GM has gotten good at making their cars look like what buyers expect. This is a Camaro that looks like a Camaro. The C8 Corvette looks like what a mid engine Corvette would look like. An Escalade looks like an Escalade, irrespective of which generation we’re talking about. They don’t seem to have any weird need to deviate from what their customers have liked in the past.
I feel like that’s Stellanis not GM lol. Corvette looks boring and not all the Corvettey. Camaro has been too bulky and eh for awhile now. They all drive incredible though but I wish they’d just steal Stellanis’s design team. They’ve done a way better job keeping the old look and making it modern. They would probably make a killer modernized 60s or 70s Camaro.
For these few examples you’ve provided, yeah. I still have no idea what the hell the difference is between any of their other SUVs: Blazer, Trailblazer, Equinox, Trax… all the same shit to me. The new Traverse looks a lot better, but those others just seem like filler vehicles that are easily forgettable.
I should have specified I was referring to their non-egg blahmobiles. Because yeah, you just named four vehicles that I *think* I could differentiate if they were lined up in front of me, but if one passed me in traffic I wouldn’t be so sure.
This was posted yesterday as well. I’ll save you a click: There’s nothing in the article. It’s literally just someone wondering what the Camaro will be. That’s it.
I love it. However, I believe when I see it. There is a lot of buzz and no prototype…. They are mentioning 2028… When I see a design and specs I will start working on my budget…
Some of it is due to complex decisions around factory utilization. The CT4 and Camaro overlapped considerably and neither had great sales at the end. The CT5-V and Blackwing have done well. They also saw that Buick buyers and Lincoln cross-buyers seemed to miss sedans. So they have found a way to optimize Lansing plant production with three lower volume cars, and we should expect them to fill different niches:
- Buick with medium-high quality interior and standard class performance
- Camaro with low-medium quality interior and high performance
- Cadillac with high quality interior and high performance.
Camaro rumors have been all over the place for a decade. The narrative, in so far as I can tell, was that a Gen 7 was planned on the Alpha II chassis, but cancelled when the CT4 and CT5 were getting the axe, and then it was supposed to be moved to the VSS-R chassis underpinning the new CT6 in China, but now actually the CT5 is chugging on along and there will now be a new Alpha chassis underpinning 3 vehicles in GM, one of which is likely going to be a Camaro.
