DETROIT, MI – Chevrolet shocked the automotive world this week when they announced that their iconic Camaro muscle car brand, which has been available since 1966, will cease production<\/a> for the foreseeable future come 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The announcement was made by Chevrolet\u2019s parent company, General Motors (GM), on Wednesday, leaving the future of the brand up in the air; a GM representative noted that a new generation maybe in the works for a future revival of the line, but offered no details beyond that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

While we are not announcing an immediate successor today, rest assured, this is not the end of Camaro\u2019s story,\u201d said Chevrolet Vice President Scott Bell.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

However, another company spokesman, Trevor Thompkins, said that \u201cWe\u2019re not saying anything specific right now” <\/em>regarding the Camaro\u2019s now-murky future.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The removal of the Camaro \u2013 a model that is still currently used in many racing competitions, including NASCAR \u2013 from Chevrolet\u2019s lineup now leaves the famed Ford Mustang as GM’s only V8 muscle car available on the marketplace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sales of the Camaro have been dwindling in recent years, with the current sixth-generation model only selling 72,705 when it was first introduced in 2016; in 2021, that number plunged a shocking 70 percent to 21,893. Camaro sales improved slightly in 2022, with 24,652 being driven off dealer\u2019s lots, but unfortunately that wasn\u2019t enough to save the brand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final 2024 Camaro models will be manufactured in January at a GM plant located in Lansing, Michigan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experts are predicting that if the Camaro brand is resurrected at some point, it is almost guaranteed to be as an all-electric model, as opposed to its classic internal combustion engine configuration. This opinion is bolstered by the fact that GM had previously announced its intention to fully transition to selling only electric vehicles by 2035. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
