There were six generations of Camaro. The second generation (1970-1981) outsold all of the other generations (~1.9 million), regardless of years or era.
This is a subjective view, which is fair, but I'm viewing it through the lens of what has been proven to work - both with the Mustang and...
The second generation Camaro was by far the best selling, so clearly Chevrolet got it right. I feel that a modern vehicle with styling cues from that generation, would appease loyalists and excite newcomers.
"Chevrolet greenlit the 2028 Camaro with a V8 and a manual, but real fans in a major enthusiast group are pushing back hard on the horsepower obsession, and what they want instead reveals the exact mistake that killed the last Camaro."...

I'm certain that Chevrolet is attempting to attract a younger market and while I'd love to see the return of an Impala SS, it identifies with an older family oriented market.
There are several Generation Z co-workers at my job and I believe that's more the exception than the rule. I've learned that they have few aspirations and little interest in owning a house or vehicle. Yet I've noticed that they take a week off here and there to travel to Europe, Asia, etc.
Yes, and some may never own a vehicle, but it's the ones who want to own a vehicle, and maybe some who can be swayed to own a vehicle, who are the target market.
If any Baby Boomer or early Generation X thinks the new Camaro is being developed for them, they'll be disappointed.
It might be a tough pill to swallow, but the older and further you are from 40, the less you are Chevrolet's target market. The new Camaro is being developed for a younger generation and they prefer four doors.
