I think it would be a hit. It would make the Camaro cool to a crowd that probably thinks they are not cool, and it would make hybrids cool to the Prius haters.

 

Hey that was my idea>>>>

If GM made a full plug-in electric Camaro, I'd buy two of them.

But just a hybrid version? Hybrid is so "early millenium" ...they still burn gas. Granted, it would be cool, and it would increase chances of me buying one

 

I'm waiting for a 6speed/diesel camaro option.

 

If the General makes a hybrid V8 Camaro that performs as well, or better than it's conventional v8 models, I'd get one for sure (as long as it's available with 6 foreward gears and three pedals).

 

I guess well see how it does. Ive always seen the V6 owners as people who couldnt afford the V8. All of the ones Ive talked to and myself were definately in that boat due to a mortgage or something. It would have to perform at least as well as the V6. Its a halo car, not one you want to turn into a commuter car. Yeah it might get a few more sales but you ruin the image if the performance isnt there. Its a balance.

Id be unlikely to buy one. Two drive systems to maintain. Probably not as powerful as the V8. Added weight. V6 performance for what will probably be V8 pricing. Im not sure how I feel about a Camaro you cant hear.

 

This is probably a stupid comment but I just dont understand
why GM hates the 4th gen F-Body so much

 

Care to explain that one a bit more? What makes you think that GM "hates" the 4th gen?

 

I agree with some previous posters that as long as a hybrid Camaro lives up to the Camaro badge, why not. It would just make the car appeal to a wider group of people.

GM sure didn't give a rat's *** about the F-body during the later years of production, lack of advertising, lack of development of a followup and letting it die...

 

Just a vibe i get from GM workers and people in general . It
really seems like they blame the 4th gen for the F-Bodies demise

 

I would certainly be interested...it would be like combining my favorite area's in the automotive spectrum.

 

I wouldn't want a hybrid but E85 would be fine with me.

 

Devil's advocate...

What is the performance was the same or at least close?

 

If performance were the same, I'd have to drive one - the rumble of a solid v8 is a huge part of the car and I can't see a hybrid having that.

 

I'd be more worried about who's going to replace the batteries when they go bad.
Sounds like GM might be worried about the new CAFE requirements huh
