The fifth generation Camaro built in GM’s Oshawa assembly plant in Ontario, Canada starting in mid-2009 has outsold the Mustang for five straight years. GM announced that it has sold more than 500,000 of the units since then.
The carmaker also disclosed that its subsidiary Chevrolet, just like what it did to the fifth generation model in 2009, will unveil plenty of variants and accessories to the 2016 Camaro to keep the new model fresh in the years come.
But Barra is quite optimistic that the sixth generation of the Camaro really has what it takes to surpass the might of the current fifth generation Camaro.
She said that the unveiling of the new Camaro reflects GM’s commitment not only to compete in the market but most importantly to thrive and lead in the marketplace that it has been so accustomed to doing then and now.
It’s about time they fixed it. I have owned at least on of each generation. I bought a 2011 SS 2 and paid cash. I kept it less than a month Still in paper tags, traded it off.
I would describe it as a slow cumbersome boat. I now drive a fourth generation, a pony car. Drives circles around the 5th gen. They need to loose many more pounds to be “sporty”
The front fascia is simply too narrow, the last generation’s at least featured it more prominently. This gives the front a squinty appearance and the rear is too bulbous. Also disappointing is that there is a slight loss of headroom so there is no sincere attempt to attract taller and larger frsmed buyers, those typically attracted to “muscle cars”. Sorry, this generation, though technologically advanced, is a stylistic disappointment and I will predict here the sales will show this.
