Let's just talk industry common practice here.... verts normally come out about a year after coupes.... so applying that standard to Camaro.. would put it right in the middle of winter 2010.

GM would be really silly to miss 2 "convertible seasons".....

 

That makes perfect sense to me. I was talking more about someone that would go and buy another car tomorrow because they took this article as official word from GM that the Camaro convertible wouldn't be out until 2012. THAT is what I would consider foolish because the article doesn't give any indication of having an official or reliable source for its content.

 

Not really surprising that the vert will be held back. Sad though as the Camaro will need something to keep momentum going. Mustang possibly trumping it in straight line performance, convertible Mustangs and Challengers, no Z/28...

 

From a personal decision point, the sky very well could be falling (especially for GM). If I decided I can't wait 2 years for a vert and I go buy something else, I'm going to be fairly content for a while. Will the Camaro faithful probably eventually own a one? Probably. But, for me, the chances of me buying a used one will go up QUITE a bit.

 

Its bad enough to wait 2 years for a hardtop, and if you wait for a vert, thats going to take a LOT more patience.

 

As mentioned before, the dates may be inaccurate or at least exaggerated. Let's not get in a huge twist without getting the facts...as usual.

 

Not sure if that was aimed at me or not. Make no mistake, I WILL be getting a Camaro. I'll just be settling for a hard top Camaro. While I will enjoy it greatly, I will surely kick myself in the **** when the vert finally comes out. (just in time for the end of the world. )

 

we may just have a new subset of members for the "Cult of the Camaro Crow Eaters" on our hands here. I love that thread you posted!
