Regardless of a number of rumors about its demise, Chevrolet refuses to substantiate nor deny something concerning the Camaro, nevertheless it certain is giving the muscle automotive a heck of a swan track.
In our earlier report concerning the Corvette C8’s pricing in Australia, Wheels mentioned a tiny bit of reports concerning the Camaro on the latter finish of the story. The opposite go-fast Chevy is alleged to have been given two extra years in its life, with the retirement moved from 2024 to 2026.

The Chevrolet Camaro is at present in a decent spot proper now within the U.S. market. It is not actually promoting nicely for fairly a couple of years now, at all times falling behind the Ford Mustang. This 12 months, Chevy solely moved 22,226 examples in the course of the third quarter of 2020. In comparison with the identical interval in 2019, that represents a 39.6 p.c decline. Compared, the Mustang bought twice that quantity throughout these three months of this sluggish, dreaded 12 months.
As such, we aren’t actually shocked to listen to that Chevy is on the verge of axing the nameplate in a couple of years with none concrete alternative to comply with. These rumors have been out since 2019, however the Golden Bow Tie is not letting go simply but with a number of updates right here and there.
The report from Australia’s Wheels shines a tiny ray of hope for Camaro followers – a minimum of within the Land Down Underneath. It’s returning underneath GM Particular Automobiles (GMSV) in each SS and ZL1 taste as early as 2021, and the publication appears to be optimistic about its return shifting ahead with the muscle automotive’s participation in Supercars Championship in 2022.
Take this with a wholesome sprint of skepticism, although. As I’ve mentioned, Chevy is not confirming nor denying something, however we certain do hope it retains the nameplate intact inside this decade, a minimum of – earlier than the EV takeover.
