GM Killing Off The Camaro – A Crying Shame

General Motors has announced the end of production for the sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro for the 2024 model year. Another American muscle icon bites the dust — but Chevy says this isn’t the end of the road for the vehicle as we know it; we just have no idea what’s coming next. The final car will roll off the production line at the Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant in January of next year.

Full Story

In the manufacturer battle, I never once pulled for a Camaro in Trans-Am, NASCAR, IMSA or any other series. I’d never buy one either. It doesn’t lower my respect for it as a good car, except for the gas war years when all cars got neutered.

I’ve followed them since 1968 because of Roger Penske and Mark Donohue. Those pony car days made for great auto’s and brand marketing. This includes the Mach 1 which I think is going away also.

One of my friends in college had the bad ass Z-28, sort of like this one.

He’s lucky he didn’t get killed on the run from Orlando to Haines City at over 100 MPH.

Not being a GM fan doesn’t mean I don’t respect it as a good car.

It’s a shame for GM to kill off such an iconic brand. Not one of the major manufacturer’s are making money on EV’s (other than Tesla) and they keep cutting their own throats with moves like this.

I’d never buy one, but you need good competitors to have a race. Chevy just took that away.
