Pricing for 2028-2029 Camaro 7th gen?

These are nonsensical prices. Not sure if the automotive market as we know it has a meaningful future.

As mentioned, the overhead on these cars that we are expected to cover is crazy, from union-driven wages through crazy parts markups through corporate damage control and financing aborted "initiatives" to constraining production to keep prices in the stratosphere.

Heck, I'm absolutely no fan of Tesla or EVs, but the thought of having or hailing a self-driving taxi to take care of daily business along with an old and amazing muscle car like, I don't know, a souped up 2018 Camaro SS is looking more and more enticing. No more disappointment with these fat, greedy legacy automakers.

Agree. I don’t think I can can take the plunge on a six figure car… $50-70 seemed bad enough. I keep thinking holy $hit, that’s $7k just in sales tax!

The one upside is if you sold one, you certainly didn’t lose your shirt.

I like your idea. I sold my 23 1SS 1LE because I couldn’t deal with black. While I managed to locate a low mile 2018 yellow car, the dealer wants a ridiculous ransom for it. I’m guessing it’s priced at $7/8k above MSRP… I probably should’ve wrapped my black one. The car I’d really love to own is a yellow (not shock) ZLE.

At these proposed prices they should pick up where the old FR Corvette left off and apply it to the Camaro (aluminum chassis, double wishbones front and back, transaxle, dry sump, etc.). I realize that won't happen, but it should.

I feel like the Camaro (and Mustang) were always “pony” cars or “muscle” cars. They were light, had V8 engines and were fun first and foremost. But were affordable to younger drivers who could get excited about driving their particular brand and later in life bought a Corvette or Shelby. And along the way, they bought family cars, trucks, and SUVs due to that brand loyalty they formed early on. I’m certainly not advocating against some higher trim Camaros (to be sure lol), but for several years during the 6th Gen Camaro run the SS was the cheapest V8 Camaro and that was loaded with nineteen coolers and Brembo brakes for track use lol. GM tried to fix that with the base LT1 after 4 years but by then prices on that were higher than they should have been too. So I hope they don’t try to make a front engine Corvette out of the Camaro. Make it fun and at least somewhat usable! If people want track cars then buy a Vette. But the last gen Challenger proved a muscle car could sell, even if handling wasn’t its thing. Maybe I’m just the old man yelling at the sky at this point
