Summary by Car and Driver
Automotive News cites an anonymous source at a major GM supplier, who claims that the three cars will share a platform. All three cars will be built at the Lansing Grand River Assembly plant in Michigan, which currently builds the Cadillac CT5 and CT4, with production of the latter ending in the next couple of months. The Camaro was built in Lansing until it was discontinued after the 2024 model year. We reached out to Chevrolet and Buick for comment, and both companies declined to provide a statement.
The source also stated that the CT5 and Camaro will begin production in fall 2027, with plans to assemble between 60,000 and 75,000 units combined annually. Details about the planned start of production for the Buick sedan remain unknown, but the source stated that GM has requested quotes for important parts from its main suppliers for the Buick.
No other details were provided on the Camaro, Buick sedan, or CT5, but we expect the cars to ride on an updated version of the Alpha platform that underpins the current CT5 and CT4 and was found under the last Camaro. When Cadillac confirmed the CT5 would return, it said that the car would feature internal combustion powertrains, and we expect all three models to opt for gas instead of electric power.
A V-8 remains a possibility for high-performance versions of the CT5 and Camaro, with GM investing $888 million into a plant in Buffalo, New York, last year to build a next-generation small-block V-8. At the time, GM said this engine was destined for full-size trucks and SUVs, but since then, GM has announced a new 6.7-liter V-8 for the 2027 Corvette Stingray and Grand Sport. A version of this engine could appear in the Camaro and a next-generation CT5-V Blackwing.
• Timeline: Production for the shared platform is rumored to begin in Autumn 2027.
