The 6th Gen was a great car. It never got the love it deserved. It got lost during the EV craze that was just starting in 2016 and then got over shadowed by the C8 in 2020.
Most of the complaints about it were dumb, but the reality is that GM has to make the 7th Gen not have any of those...
I view the Camaro concept as an extreme design theme.
It will have to fit on the longer CT5 platform and therefore become more conventional in the process. Just like the Buick would lose the extreme rear end.
If the Camaro, Buick, and Caddy all go with a Fastback hatch sedan style. My guess these are the design themes embraced on each variant.
Caddy likely using the Celestiq as styling source and Buick using the Orbit concept for inspiration.
I would expect these to be base model prices and motor...
I think GM is targeting NASCAR crowd with new Camaro Sedan.
Old dudes will appreciate the shorter doors and easier upright seating position that makes entering and exiting the Camaro much easier on the knees.. lol
The 2015 Chevrolet SS Sedan when adjusted for inflation was about a $60,000 sedan. I expect the V8 variant of Camaro sedan to have a $59,000 MSRP.
Base 350hp turbo 4 to start at $35,000 but most all optioned to $40,000 for a while.
Sounds like something I will want in about 4 years. It could basically be the Corvette Sedan they were designing and decided to use the Camaro nameplate and target NASCAR.
The 6th gen is so tight because of no hatch but the hatch would help sales.
I think GM might focus on increasing sales on this variant than just track times.
Biggest complaint people had for not buying a Camaro were the giant doors that made getting out hard in tight parking spots. Also low seating and gun slit windows made people think it had bad visibility.
Small sedan doors and higher and more upright seating solves those problems.
I expect...
$35,000 LT 2.7 Turbo 330hp
$45,000 LT-X 2.7 Turbo + 110hp emotor = 440hp
$55,000 ZL1 6.7 V8 500hp
$75,000 ZL1-X 6.7 + 160hp emotor = 660hp
(No SS)
Camaro will likely be a sport sedan and I would expect Buick to call theirs the Grand National.
