That's the same generic reply they've been sending out sicne the day the F-Body was discontinued.

Don't get too worked up over it.

Yup, Lutz has somewhat hinted at the return of the Camaro in a blog last month. It's coming, they just can't say anything about it yet

Re: Don't look goo :(

are you talking about this blog entry? I don't think he hinted at anything.

And there's more to come ... including our all-new full-size trucks and sport-utilities. I'd love to add at this point for all you Camaro fans that I'm using the blog to announce the rebirth of the F-bodies ... but I'm afraid that would be tantamount to yet another Internet hoax. Sorry.

But I do love the passion with which the Camaro faithful express their undying commitment to the object of their affections. Believe me, I've gotten enough email from you to know! At the end of the day, that's what our business is all about - inspiring passion among the faithful. That's what has allowed me to spend my life's work in an industry I'm passionate about. We should all be so lucky.

Have a great weekend.

Its not even a bait. People are seeing what he did not write. He said NO, not MAYBE. When (or if) the news is broke about the new camaro, I doubt it will come from Mr. Lutz.

Re: Don't look goo :(

The car will come. If the Red Sox won the World Series, we will see a 5th gen. Instead of putting that "Believe!" Red Sox bumper sticker on the rear window of the GP last fall, maybe I shoulda put it on the Z so it would have dual meanings

He didn't say it wasn't coming, he said he wasn't announcing it on the blog.

Re: Don't look goo :(

Seems like that his blog about the Camaro was beat into the ground with a 10+ page thread if I remeber correctly. Lets hope we don't have to go another 10+ pages about the same thing.

Re: Don't look goo :(

I think we will all get the " Chevelle ", the new GTO in 07 will be built in the US, GM loves copying one car and selling it as another. IE see cam/frbird envoy/trailblazer, sunfire / cavalier , vue/equinox etc.


I hope it is not the case, but I fear the camaro , she is gone for quite some time....in which case I will freak out and mail a dirty diaper to gm.

Re: Don't look goo :(

If you don't know something is coming already then you should definately search, BTW I believe the naming situation has been resolved.
