When will the next Camaro debut, if at all? My vote is that it will, around 2007. Opinions?

 

The miniscule info I have has 2005 as a 2006 at the earliest, but 2006 as a 2007 as most likely.

 

I remember hearing that 2009 would be the most practical.

 

I've always said 06 for 07 and I'm staying with it.

 

I'm hoping for 04. I really think they are further along than anyone expects. I have no 'educated' reason as to why, just a gut feeling.

 

I'm thinking the debut will be too late, plus about 2 years.

 

I am saying comes out late o3, early o4, or quite possibly 05 model year, so 04.

 

I'm hoping for 2006....... but I am an optimist, me thinks.

 

I don't see how it would be possible to get one before 2005 at the earliest, unless they've been playing with Sigma a whole bunch...how else could they pull it off?

 

I think they are working on one now. I think they have been working on one for a while now, maybe even before production ended on the 4th gen. The gag order won't let anyone tell us, but I think they are further along than most think. Read the thread I started about the CAW. Read what Doug Harden wrote and then read Scott's (Red Planet) response. You really don't have to read between the lines that much to see what's going on. JMO though.

 

Here's some help.

Here is Doug's post and here is Scott's reply.

You just gotta read between the lines some.

 

2005 or 2006 Please

 

Didn't we just hear that even the widely known Solstice won't be out till 2006? And that's pretty much a completed car, compared to any prospective 5th gen. zzzzzzzzz I'm wondering why they even want to bother to try if it's going to be 06. By then Solstice import ripoffs will already be on the streets 1 or 2 years old. This also ties into the Camaro thing.. regardless of whether they have any progress now or not.. most people are guessing 06-07 on here. put me down for "too little too late". If they're working on anything now, they better put it out ASAMFP before they lose more undecided customers.

Unrelated; I was behind a gold Fiero GT today.. for a 15 year old car, it sure looks awesome, modern and futuristic among all the safety minivans and afraid-to-get-dirty SUV's crowding around it all trying to look tallest... I wish I could pinpoint where the beginning of the end of progress was for american car design. generally it was around 93-96.. does anyone agree? The end of the whale b-body in 96 was the fatal blow. it'll never be the same, 5th gen or not.

I also put blame directly on AMC/Jeep for initiating the SUV truck mileage exemption laws in the late 70s.

 

GTO is being brought back just in time for its 40th anniversary. Camaro.... JMO.

 

2002 was the 35th Aniversary........so 2007 would be the 40th........so, that's my guess too!

I'd venture a guess that we'll see a concept at the 2006 NAIAS with production in the fall of same year.......then a 40th Anniversary model comes out mid 2007......with a re-birth of the Z/28 debuting at the 2007 NAIAS with production in mid 2007 (some 40 years after it's birth).....................see what happens when I eat too many X-mas cookies! LOL!!

Just my little ol' $0.02 worth..........
