None has pricing announced, nor will have pricing announced till just before actual orders are accepted.
What makes you think that General Motors' Chevrolet division is going to announce the pricing of a 2019/10 Camaro in December 2007 or the 1st quarter 2008, one whole year before it even goes on sale??
Best way to get an idea of pricing schedules is to look around and see what the current pricing schdeules tend to run.
Pricing won't be announced till just before dealers begin ordering. That puts the release of pricing information no earlier than next September if we're lucky, but most likely October or November if the car's going on sale in January 2009.

They've managed to pop an LS3 and other refinements into the base Vette for 2008 for under 1000 dollars more than the 2007 model.
I think it's fair to say that engine's shouldn't be a pricing issue, besides to usual - pay more, and get better power thing.
I expect, and not many share this view, that base V6's should weigh in at just over 20,000, the up-level V6 should come around 23-24k, a base V8 (if only one V8, then it'll go here) comes around with a 26-27k pricetag, and the high-end V8 (disregard if there isn't one), should be offered for around 30,000.
Bob Lutz said he want's to keep prices competetive, that GM would have a business case for a Camaro ranging from 20,000 to 30,000. Expect that, says I.

Unless something has changed recently expect two V6 packages. With high gas prices and the possible return of CAFE increases the V6 is even more important than any V8.
As for pricing you will see it Hmmm... Approx Dec of 08. The pricing of the Malibu just came out 2 weeks ago and it will be in dealers about a month and a half to two months after it was anounced.
Expect it to meet or be very near what ever the Mustang is selling for.

if you never knew you can order a car 6 months prior to it being in showrooms. which meend if the camaro is a begining of 09 car you can get an order in for it at least byjune of next year if not earlier. as it also has been said that the car may be out in the fall of 08 as an 09 that meens the orders will be able to be accepted in as close as april of next year. not to mention that they already said it ws going t obe very close to the mustang. and to answer your question i think they will have some kind of estimated pricing by the time detroit auto show comes around because they should have the production car there. and being that this is the main show this is the only time to get the production car out before 09 come around and the car is already in showrooms. just watch there will be something at detroit next year. dont get pissy with me because im not the only one who has heard this. you dont want to believe me ...thats fine. i dont want to believe you.

If you want to keep on believing you can order your Camaro next April, and pricing will be out in January, and you don't want to believe me, then that's OK. Afterall, what do I know?

I'm tellin you guys....get to your local dealer and put in your pre order right now or pay the BIG price later.
If you put down a deposit right now you will get your camaro at MSRP if you get the right dealer. The dealer markups on this car are going to be huge for quite awhile after it comes out.

Per Scott as of last Sunday said the plant is not yet started but the release is still set for Feb 09.
GM has not even release order info let alone will not release info for another year and 4-5 months as the earliest.
We may not get prices till the NAIAS of 09. The press week would be a good time to realese that info.
Hmmmm which model and which engine are you going to order? What interior color is yours going to have. GM has not release any of this info so it make gettin the car you want a little difficult.
As for dealer mark up it won't last any longer than the Mustang once production gets up to speed by summer of 09.

You are all wrong, the Camaro's pricing will be released next thursday. Its plant will no longer be in Oshawa, Canada, but built on Guam at an old WWII Navy base. I heard that the labor rates are really low, and Camaro will be sold at a starting price of 10 grand.
....dont shoot the messanger.
Why is it that every month or so there is a thread I see with this same title?
Comes down to this. Whatever the Mustang is priced at, thats where Camaro will be. So if you are eye-balling a GT at 28k, id bet you that you could get a V8 Camaro for about teh same price.

You do realise that it will probably only be available as the base V6 model for the first few months anyway?

Did the Mustang do that in '05? I know I didn't see any GT's on the road for a few months. Maybe they were just in short supply. Regardless, I don't think it's a good idea.
