What is the difference between this and any article that says the Camaro is/isn't coming back? It isn't officially announced yet. I can't see this articl hurrying GM up any in their decision to approve/aannounce the Camaro.


btw

it still is pretty good news

 

It looks like DCX just lit a fire under Chevy's ***.

 

Yup.... sad but true

 

Nope, the above is the best quote recently placed on this board!


I really hope that with this news it helps the ol beancounters realize what needs to happen! Mustang, Challenger and no Camaro from GM to compete??? can't happen...

 

Seems like Chrysler is leading the RWD market.

 

Soon. But not sooner than I think.

 

Okay, I'll admit you made me chuckle.

 

Yeah, sure. Maybe that's why my 1999 Z28 was built in May 1999.

I know what you are getting at, that January 2008 could be the earliest possible time for this car. Dodge could do like GM and have the 2004 GTO land in dealerships during January 2004. Either way, its a crap shoot.

 

lets take a moment now and thank Ford for keeping the mustang current and desirable.If it was not for the stang there would be no new pony cars coming.This is not from a Ford-only lover.Just give the car its due if you have not been able to.

 

While that's true, the GTO wasn't exactly a brand new car, just a slightly modified body on an existing car. Sort of like the mod-4th gen facelift on the Camaro, just less drastic.

Here's another one:

the Chevy Coupe is planned for April 2007, (start of production). with the nameplate of "Camaro" built on Sigma-mass. The GTO shares the same platform (start in July 2007) and Grand Prix (start in July 2008).

 

Ill believe this when I see the car at THIS NAIAS...

 

Actually your 1999 Camaro began it's production run in August 1998, and the 2004 GTO began it's production run in October 2003.

The 2005 Chrysler 300 began it's production run at the end of February 2004, while the all new 2006 Dodge Charger began it's production run about 2 months ago, in April 2005. The '64 1/2 Mustang was actually a '65, that came began production in March and came out in April '64.

It's based on the start of production runs, not when they show up at dealers. Carmakers can start production runs whenever they're ready, so if Chrysler has their plant ready for Challenger production after in 2008 after January, then the car will be a 2009.

If Chrysler gets ahead of schedule (like the SN95 Mustang was, and it begins production before January 2008, it will be a 2008 car.
