The following is a series of questions and answers regarding the upcoming
production of the Chevrolet Camaro. These questions and answers are designed for Chevrolet Dealers and Wholesale personnel use only.
Why is the Chevy Camaro concept starring in the Transformers movie?
Camaro is starring in Transformers to keep up the excitement that was first generated at its unveiling in 2006. The Transformers movie will also help the new Camaro gather new fans -- women just as likely as young men. The movie uses the latest graphic, computer-animated detail to visualize the old Camaro transforming into the Camaro concept in a way that no press conference or ad campaign ever could. It’s a powerful way to link the upcoming Camaro to the Camaro of old and tie in the lengthy Camaro
heritage for consumers.
Is there a rich heritage surrounding Camaro?
Since it roared to life in the fall of 1966 as a 1967 model, Camaro has given millions a taste of “performance -- American style,” with muscular V8s, great road-handling suspension components and uncompromised styling that really turns heads. And after 35 years, Camaro remains the “purest of the breed” and part of the great American motoring landscape. Camaro has touched many lives -- and graced many garages -- with nearly 4.8 million produced between 1967 and 2002. More than 1,000 Camaro clubs exist globally and thousands of Camaro Web sites pay homage to the sports
coupe.
When will the Camaro production vehicle be available for sale to the public?
The Camaro production vehicle will be available for sale in the first quarter of 2009.
Why is the Camaro taking so long to launch? Is it late?
Back in August 2006, GM announced that the all-new Camaro would go sale in the first quarter of 2009. Nothing has changed. This is still the target date for production. GM is using this time frame to further develop its new global rear-wheel-drive architecture and fine-tune Camaro’s fuel-efficient powertrain, sophisticated chassis and contemporary design.
Was a production Camaro the plan from the beginning?
Camaro production is a direct result of the overwhelming enthusiastic response to the Chevy Camaro concept at the 2006 North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
What performance features and engines will be offered in the Camaro production vehicle?
The Camaro production vehicle will incorporate an independent rear suspension and offer a manual and automatic transmission. Customers will be able to choose from a V6 or V8 engine to power their production Camaro. Horsepower ratings have yet to be announced for the production Camaro. The Camaro concept houses a small-block V8 engine, rated at 400 horsepower. More Camaro production features will be announced
in the future.
Will there be a production Camaro convertible?
Yes, there will be a production Camaro convertible. It will be available for sale within one year of the production Camaro coupe.
Where will the production Camaro be built?
Production will take place in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada.
Has pricing been announced for the production Camaro?
Pricing for the production Camaro has yet to be announced.
Are vehicles like the production Camaro compatible with growing concerns about fuel economy?
GM offers a wide range of fuel-saving technologies. Although it is too early for specifics regarding the Camaro production vehicle, it’s safe to say that Chevrolet and GM are continuing to look for ways to improve fuel economy and offer the latest fuel-saving technologies. The Camaro production vehicle is being designed with fuel economy concerns in mind.
What vehicles will the production Camaro compete against?
Customers interested in the Camaro production vehicle will also be shopping the Ford Mustang and the new 2008 Dodge Challenger. Challenger will be built off established RWD architecture, allowing it to start production earlier than Camaro. The Camaro production vehicle will be designed to hold a number of product advantages over this competition and will surely be able to hold its own against any high-performance competitor out there.
