    So maybe 2028 Camaro looks like this

    Those lights look dated even when replaced with aftermarket LED counterparts. Nostalgia alone doesn't sell more cars, even in the shrinking muscle and sports car market.

    So maybe 2028 Camaro looks like this

    If I don't misremember, the Zeta platform that the 5th gen was built on was not sustainable, because it physically couldn't be tweaked to pass incoming regulations. GM had to design a new architecture regardless of sales volumes. That said, much as I love the 6th gen and think it's borderline...

    So maybe 2028 Camaro looks like this

    This is a(n AI) Dodge Charger with an unnecessarily squished top grille and headlights in the front bumper. It's a nope from me.

    Based on the 6th gen, what do you want Chevrolet to do better/include with the 7th gen Camaro?

    Makes sense, given the 6th gen was almost there: you only need a sensor, a single pin and a quick tune. All other parts on the car are already ethanol compatible.

    Hopefully Chevy Understands the New Camaro Design is More Important than a 0.5 Second Faster 1/4 Mile

    Well hello there, "newcomer" :D As I tend to say, visibility and headroom could be improved by slightly lowering the beltline and raising the roofline, and the trunk opening would be way more usable with split taillights. This alone takes care of half the usability complaints. A bit of...

    Who's in the market??? Assuming it's a legit Camaro.

    A hard top convertible is the kind of new Camaro that would give me serious pause and consideration 😁

    Hopefully Chevy Understands the New Camaro Design is More Important than a 0.5 Second Faster 1/4 Mile

    Why is the Alpha architecture expensive to use in 2026? It's well over a decade old, base R&D must have been recouped long ago, and manufacturing is simply about churning out metal and plastic pieces like with every other architecture, I don't think it has anything special in terms of material...

    Where GM may have a problem

    Number 3, are you implying it's now a given that the 7th gen Camaro (if it does materialize) will be a sedan? Because if not, then why couldn't a coupe be allowed to have Blackwing-like or better performance, it isn't a direct competitor. I'm also not sure the CT5-V Blackwing has that much more...

    Who's in the market??? Assuming it's a legit Camaro.

    Are you bullish about AI or does it turn you off completely, or maybe somewhere inbetween?

    Here is how I think we could see a coupe

    Just curious, but if all these are identical, how is the Camaro going to be different from being simply another Cadillac trim? At least could the rear and the interior be completely different, or is that too expensive, too?

    Who's in the market??? Assuming it's a legit Camaro.

    Only if it's a Camaro and better than mine in every way, plus the price is tolerable. Not interested otherwise---after all, I could just get a CT5-V Blackwing anytime if I wanted a sedan and I were willing to spend $100K+ on a fun car.

    This is what I think the 2028 Camaro sedan will look like

    For the record, I don't like admins banning or deleting posts from people who are simply obnoxious, nothing more. Why would we want to prevent others from seeing their posts and forming an opinion?

    This is what I think the 2028 Camaro sedan will look like

    IMO the basic shape of a car matters much, much more than its internals when applying monikers. This is not about resistance to change but brand dilution, with GM trying to drum up extra sales by appealing to nostalgia while misleading people into thinking a totally different vehicle is...

    Article: Four door Camaro fight just exploded as manual V8 rumors divide enthusiasts ahead of 2028 return

    This article makes it sound like GM is doing some kind of favor or charitable service to V8 engines by keeping them on the menu. Nothing can be far from the truth, and I for one wouldn't want a consolation prize engine kept alive solely for nostalgia anyway. Also, a 4-door sedan can be an...

    Based on the 6th gen, what do you want Chevrolet to do better/include with the 7th gen Camaro?

    I agree with you 100% on feature subscriptions in cars, and if it were up to me, they would be outlawed tomorrow. That doesn't mean GM isn't rushing to increase revenues from this model. As I said, the cost associated with subscriptions is minuscule compared to that of manufacturing vehicles...

    This is what I think the 2028 Camaro sedan will look like

    It's a valid opinion, whether one likes it or not. The CT5-V Blackwing is absolutely amazing, but it isn't a sports car. It seems NitroRS24's preferred sports car format and thus his preferred future Camaro is a 2-door coupe (or convertible), not sure how that's ridiculous. Again, can a sedan...

    Based on the 6th gen, what do you want Chevrolet to do better/include with the 7th gen Camaro?

    The lower trims did get 18" wheels with soft 50 aspect ratio all-season tires, and the ride was pretty smooth on those (I had a 2LT with this wheel/tire setup). The way I set the mirrors is when a car is coming up on me, either on the left or the right as it moves out of my rearview, it comes...

    Based on the 6th gen, what do you want Chevrolet to do better/include with the 7th gen Camaro?

    Ditching runflat tires for normal summer or all-season tires solves the ride quality and road noise problem immediately. I think GM got a sweet deal from Goodyear on their otherwise unsellable crap runflats, plus they didn't need to worry about including a spare. Then again, higher V8 trims come...
