As the number of two-door models dwindles and SUVs’ popularity booms …
Fake news.

If they resurrect the Firebird as an EV SUV, then Wil Smith could star in the remake of The Rockford Files.

Or maybe Bad Bunny.

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.

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.

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:

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.

Why not call it the Chevy Crap cause that what it looks like and will be.

Ford Mustang Mach-E
November 2025 Sales Figures

Total Sales: 3,014 units
Year-over-Year Change: Decreased by nearly 50

Sales were pretty good but government subsidies ended in September 2025. There should NEVER be subsidies.

Because they still believe they can shove EVs down our throats and really, really, really make us like it ???

I’ll hang on to my real ICE Camaro and watch GMC throw away more billions of dollars on this ill advised WOKE foolishness.

“Reuss has indicated he intends the Camaro to start at an affordable price point…”

If I had a dollar for every time I have heard or read a claim like this, I could afford a new Porsche.

They probably build one (1) poverty-spec car so that they can claim “starting at” prices. I swear, MBUSA would import one (1) Euro taxi poverty spec Benz for the same reason, to get you in the door.

It’s a tease. Meant to gauge public response....
Cannot see it being a product for Camaro afficionado. But for some company who needs a famous name “Tesla small SUV” beater.
Meh....

Can the Bowtie be this dumb? It’s become painfully obvious to the most casual observer that the Mach-e didn’t work. Can the Bowtie make Camaro EV not work better?

I wonder why Mary Barra never suggested that the Vette should become an EV?

She would be fired in no time.

Maybe they don’t disclose their future plans because they don’t want the enthusiasm to die before it even starts production or gets to the showrooms.
