After years of rumor and speculation, Chevrolet announced production of the sixth-generation Camaro will come to an end in January.
While the current model is going away, the bowtie brand wasn’t shy about its eventual return. In particular, the company said “this is not the final chapter for [the Camaro] nameplate.” Officials also told us, “While there is no immediate successor, this is not the end of Camaro’s story.”
Chevrolet is staying tight-lipped, but the seventh-generation Camaro will undoubtedly be an EV and the company has already confirmed there will be electric “low roof entries” in the future. This is a bit of a catch-all term as it could apply to sedans as well as coupes, convertibles, and sports cars.

GM hinted at the possibility of an electric coupe way back in 2017 and the model was initially believed to be a Camaro EV. However, patent images of a Cadillac coupe surfaced a year later and this fueled even more speculation.
In fact, the rumor mill has been running overtime and we’ve heard everything from the Camaro being replaced by an electric performance sedan to the Camaro spawning an entire sub-brand. The latter lineup was said to include a new coupe and convertible, two- and four-door crossovers, and a “mid-price flagship sports car.”
While that’s pretty much every conceivable combination aside from a wagon, that belies the point. What do you want to see out of the seventh-generation Camaro?
There’s no right answer, but I want a legitimately new design as the sixth-generation Camaro didn’t seem different enough from its predecessor. While the Dodge Challenger has shown that age doesn’t matter as much as you’d think, the Camaro just didn’t have the same sense of excitement and felt stale.
That brings us to our next point, keep the Camaro interesting. While the sixth-generation muscle car offered some interesting packages and special editions, they felt few and far between. It was also impossible not to look over at Dodge and see them cranking out new stuff while Chevrolet didn’t.
With all that being said, tell us what you want to see out of the next Camaro?
