Sedan or Coupe 7th gen Camaro - what do you prefer?

[ARC]

I expect the sedan first as it shares more components with Buick and Caddy variants

Maybe get a door a few years later to coincide with C9 Vette launch.

Share styling themes.

Ideally, they would both launch at the same time. That said, GM Authority has some speculation that the new Camaro could be even more upsetting to Camaro purists....it might be a wagon like the Dodge Magnum. IIRC, the Magnum came out first in dodge, along with the 300 sedan and the Charger came out the next year and the Challenger another 2 years after that... (2005, 06, and 08 IIRC, I might not be)

Coupe with a hatch and big ass wang.

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.

The younger gen right now don't even want to own a vehicle. I live in a rural area with no public transport and the amount of Gen Z that don't even have nor want a drivers license is insane.

So how do they get around without their own vehicles or public transport? Mom/dad mobility?

Uber

Uber

...and that's cheaper than paying a $250 lease plus $250 on gas a month for their own vehicle that they can take anywhere, anytime? Or do they stay at home most of the time?

I have 3 gen Z kids. First one learned to drive because she figured she was supposed to do that. Second one learned to drive around 13 and was very excited to get her license. Then requested to learn to drive a manual so that she could be the only one in her school that knew how. The Third... she didn't want to learn. The underlying issue is she lacked confidence in herself and her abilities. Which is what I've gathered as the main problem with gen Zs refusing to learn to drive. Since i have 3 i get the benefits of finding information about it from all of their friends. I also was able to push confidence into a couple of them and let them know all the benefits of learning.
Which coming back to my youngest daughter, she was terrified of driving. I took her to the school parking lot on a Sunday when it was wide open and made her drive my old blazer around. After that day she became excited about driving and wants me to find her a Mitsubishi eclipse for her first car. Driving school is this summer and hopefully i can finish the 99 SS for my middle daughter and move into a GS-T project.

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.

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.

Similar situation here, 3 Gen Z kids, the last one on the fence between Z and alpha. The first two learned to drive very quickly, I bought a first shared beater for them and now they have their own. They absolutely love the freedom of driving their own cars and are happy to work part time while studying. In other words, they're old school. Third one is still younger and not too interested in driving, I teach him but he isn't half as driven or excited about it as his sisters were.

One thing I'm very happy about is that they are resourceful and not picky at all, they love their simple Japanese cars. My younger daughter is quite okay with fixing stuff together, for example, when her Mazda had a typical park position sensor issue, we researched and fixed it together, and it's been perfect since.

On the other hand, I do understand that when someone lives in a city and has access to non-enshittified public transport, having a car is much more of a liability. Living in the country, though, Uber is more expensive, pricing is unpredictable, so I'm surprised, whether the people doing it are Gen Z or not.
