A
recent story in Muscle Cars & Trucks on the future of the
Chevrolet Camaro cited "anonymous sources inside
General Motors" saying the seventh-gen
Camaro program had been "suspended." According to the report, when the current sixth-gen coupe reaches the end of its natural lifespan in 2022, the Camaro badge is "likely to be shelved." As the story made its way through the internet, the summary turned into, "The Camaro is dead."
GM Authorityworked its sources to put some context and meat on the bones of the MCT report, and the situation is, as usual, more complex and less certain.
The MCT piece walked us to the edge of the Camaro cliff with the line, "Sources tell us that the Camaro will not transition to the A2XX platform, and 2023 is as far as the vehicle is charted out. Then nothing." The A2XX architecture is the evolution of the original Alpha platform used by the Camaro and the
Cadillac ATS and
CTS.
