As the number of two-door models dwindles and SUVs’ popularity booms …Fake news.
Or maybe Bad Bunny.
Heh! We used to come home from afternoon classes and watch Rockford Files.
Window sticker for 1969 Camaro.
So even with the dismal sales of the Mustang-E as proof that very few folks want such a vehicle (or any type of EV actually), Mary Barra will cram the e-version of the Camaro out the door anyway. She and the many idiots that make these type of decisions should be sacked - the sooner the better.
Agreed.
A fraternity brother had a ‘69 Z-28. Bought it new! I never knew where he got all the money to buy it or insure it. I was making $1.65 / hour at the time while at university.
That’s $15.05 in 2025 dollars.
I remember rolling my eyes at the “Fight For 15” slogan, too.
Barra has been running GM for almost twelve years. It’s really shameful that she is still there.
I still watch it. MeTV is wonderful!
I would much rather have a supercharged 427 c.i. small block with around 600 hp, and similar torque. Yes, you can make a 427 small block, these days even more cubic inch small blocks are available. Nothing like the sound and feel of a supercharged V8. Ahh, the good ole days. A good friend of mine had the first Camaro Z/28 sold in N.J. It was a 302 c.i. screamer, grossly underrated power. His father did him a favor and changed the oil for my friend, Jerry. Only problem was he forgot to screw the drain plug back into the pan. Jerry did manage to make it a mile and a half before rods came through the pan. He cried.
An SUV, not electric, would be good.
Concur. This is stupid.
The body styling of the electric version looks a lot better than the boring body on the non-electric one. Just cancel the EV, use that body for an ICE Camaro with a decently powerful engine, and maybe they’d have something.
The batteries are still shit. Dangerous and expensive shit. Making the cars disposable and inevitably obsolete.
But, there is this window of almost incomprehensible acceleration that a real enthusiast can enjoy while the window is still open. But, make no mistake, the nannystate is not about to let your 16 year old daughter drive a car that does 0-60 in 2.6 seconds.
If it comes to market, I’ll be in line for one. The 2026 Oldsmobile 442:
That 69 was fully optioned and cost equivalent to $43,651 today.
My 69 Ford LTD cost me $3,169 or $28,045 in 2025 dollars.
Would rather still have the Camaro.
but the world kept spinning when the Mustang Mach-E arrived, so a Camaro EV SUV probably won’t signal the end times, either.
Yeah because the ‘Tang didn’t generate any excitement....or sales.
What a great idea to resurrect a beloved brand and cripple it with a despised electric motor.
