Chevrolet lifted the lid (get it?) on the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro convertible today after quietly teasing the car last Friday. We knew the convertible variant was on its way, we just didn’t think it would be here this quickly.
Regardless, here we have it in its soft-top guise, ready to let the sun shine in and look good doing so. Speaking of looks, we think it looks pretty damn good. Compared to the big-boned Zeta-based fifth-generation Camaro, the 2016 Camaro convertible looks even more tactile minus its roof. And it’s hard to make a convertible look as good as its coupe brethren.
This is made possible from careful design and engineering. A hard tonneau lays in place when the top is down, preserving the 2016 Camaro convertible’s shape. And when the top is up, designers took careful consideration to ensure the soft top mimicked the coupe’s roofline. We think they’ve succeeded.
If you couldn’t tell, we’re a fan of how it looks. Though, we can’t wait to see it wear a brighter color. What do you say? It the 2016 Camaro convertible a looker? Or, have the design team made a mistake? Let us know in the poll, and sound off down below.

As a former owner of a new 3rd Gen. Camaro, a new 2008 Saturn Sky Red Line and current owner of a new 2011 5th Gen. Convertible (with which I am EXTREMELY satisfied and NO top problems!), I have been keeping a close eye on the Buick Cascada, despite the lower HP vs. the Camaro. This new 6th Gen. Convertible, however, looks a bit chunkier than the 5th Gen. and that auto hard tonneau is ass-kicking awesome – which will probably make this my next Camaro Convertible.
Well done GM! Well done Chevrolet! 3 thumbs up!
Great job GM and Chevrolet. I much prefer he convertible and remote opening and closing from the key fob is boss.
Sloping the windshield to this degree , to me , is really dumb . It compromises so much of the interior’s usable space .
However , though I’d never buy one , it will be popular and much loved !
The only people I know who use the windshield area for space are older women who drive slow, so their beanie babies don’t slide around – not really the market for this car.
Sloping the windshield isn’t dumb. It reduces drag and provides a sporty silhouette that matches the rest of the lines of the car. Also, I disagree that it compromises space. It seems you’re assuming that the top was laid back to create the angle. I would say that the bottom of the windshield was kicked forward INCREASING cabin volume. Look at how much the windshield base extends over the engine bay.
It’s okay….Nothing groundbreaking, but it’s a nice improvement over the outgoing model.
