Dodge sold nearly 400 thousand more Chargers than Camaros in same time frame.

GM would be smart to go after that business as Dodge made the new Charger too expensive and too heavy.

Camaro Sedan is directly tied to GMs Nascar racing program. No other Chevy nameplate is being used with Nascar so its win on Sunday and sell on Monday.
#1 compare challenger to camaro.

#2 just buy a charger and hide from camaros.

Total U.S. sales from 2010 through 2025:

• Chevrolet Camaro: 851,956 units
• Dodge Challenger: 781,758 units

Camaro went through two generations while Dodge just did one mild refresh.

GM spent way more on tooling and engineering.

it feels like they ran that bodystyle for 20 years. they must have paid off the building and all the tooling 10 years ago. they should have just kept building them at 100% profit. they never lost the cool factor!

Just bury the cost in the cadillacs!

GM also changed platforms and plants in 2016.
Oshawa Ontario Canada did the 5th and East Lansing did the 6th
Brampton Ontario did the Stellantis Quartet Magnum Charger Challenger and 300
They also used a Mercedes derived chassis for them and thats why they all weighed 5-600lbs more than a Camaro.

that chassis was practically free for them from the merger! nothing wrong with the 6 gen chassis as far as i can tell. reuse it!

While I love my 6th Gen.

GM would have likely sold more Camaros if they just kept the 5th Gen around as long as the Challenger.

It was bigger with more interior space and more retro if they kept round headlights and Corvette-like taillights.

Most Camaro owners just wanted that with some mechanical updates, special editions, new wheels, and new colors every few years.

A lot of enthusiasts and auto writers said it was too big and heavy(Gen5)
Then they complained the Gen6 was too small inside and you couldn't see out of it.
You can never please some people.
