I never thought the current generation did a good job of maintaining the Camaro 'look', thought it looked as much Mopar as GM. Gotta give Ford credit for maintaining the Mustang's lines for so many years.
The end of an era. Racing icon and uber nice guy Randy Pobst liked the current generation so much that he bought one in 2019. His choice would probably shock readers here though - he bought the 4-cylinder 1LE 2LT trim. Said he liked the attractive low price and the one with the lightest engine up front handled the best.
The sixth-generation Camaro has a more rounded front than the fifth-generation and is an improvement. The large lower grill doesn't help but the worst front-end is the SS and ZL-1. The rear fender is a strange hump.
The Mustang has near perfect in styling except it seems to be proportioned as narrow and long. The Camaro seems to be wide.
Basically, I would just send the Camaro to an Italian design studio and keep building it.
One thing about the Camaro is that a track-package is available to make a performance model. But the track-package is now only available with the V8 engines.
Another thing about the Camaro is that it is affordable with 2.0 turbocharged engine or with 3.6 V6 engine.
Now will Chevrolet add a rear-wheel-drive sedan ? For instance, the Cadillac CT4 and CT5 sedans are related to the Camaro.
With no Camaro available then affordable options are V6 Mustang and Toyota GR86. Or for high-performace a V8 Mustang or Nissan Z
.
Nascar is slowly running out of choices for cars that can make left turns for 3 hours. Besides the Corvette, I believe the Malibu might be Chevy's last actual car that they will be producing. The Malibu was supposed to be discontinued after this year, but rumor has it that they changed their mind, and a new generation is now on it's way for 2024. So I guess the Nascar Camaro will be replaced with the Malibu, which I believe has been a Nascar choice in the past.
This might sound a little crazy, but I wonder if Nascar actually had anything to do with Chevy deciding to keep the Malibu going for a few more years. If it wasn't for this, Chevrolet may have had to drop out of Nascar.
And before I start getting piled on by Nascar haters, yes I know that "stock-cars" have basically nothing at all in common with the production versions, but still, could my new conspiracy theory have anything to do with anything?
When they brought the 5th gen out it looked like a 'cartoon' car to me... and did for many years. Subtle changes have made the most recent the best looking, in my opinion.
Honestly it looks like a caricature. Compared to the Dodge Challenger which is a near faithful recreation of the famous 1970 car, or the Mustang which has a far more natural looking styling, the last gen. Camaro doesn't look very good at all in my opinion.
