This is based on all the info I've read on this forum.

GM doesn't have to (and won't) reveal anything till it's nearly production time. At present, I would give a ZERO percent chance of seeing any Camaro sketches or concept next autoshow season. You may see a preproduction at the 2007 auto show (around 730 days from now).

What you CAN expect to see next year is the new Buick RWD sedan and quite likely the next GTO and maybe even the new Bonneville replacement. But expect Camaro's replacement to be treated just like the C6 Corvette was: 1st glimpse 8-10 months before production starts.

Well, lets put it this way, Chevrolet IS working on a car that will be a competitor to the Mustang. That comes straight from Chevys General Manager. Also, you may want to read the article I wrote early this year in Popular Hot Rodding.

So for all we know we could end up with a Chevelle, Nova or El Camino....
Rear wheel V8 for sure, but Camaro? I have my doubts.

Re: Let's be honest! 365 days to go...

I do read this site often, and it’s full of information about OTHER cars that have been announced for future production.

I find anything concerning the Camaro to be speculation and hearsay. I know there are journalists on this site, but as a person who works closely with media professionals, I know that opinions and facts are often exaggerated.

Hope is for children who want Christmas presents. Facts are for men who want things here and now. I'm not waiting for this car forever.

If I don't hear some info on this car from GM one year from today, I'm buying a Nissan 350z, the new Charger or.......yeah, f-ck it!!!!! I'm buying a new Mustang with an aftermarket Elenor Body Kit!

Yeah, Horde does have a point. Yeah, Chevy is getting a mustang competitor... in about 2 or 3 years. Not much is going to tide them over.

Then we have the "other" F-body enthusiasts...
