Back in March, GM Authority was the first to detail exactly what’s new and different about the 2021 Chevrolet Camaro. Among many of the relatively minor changes was a new color called Wild Cherry Tintcoat. In fact, that was the only new hue for the 2021 Camaro. Now, we have discovered that Chevy will introduce a new appearance option called Wild Cherry Design Package that – you guessed it – is based around the new exterior color.
While photos of the new package nor the new Wild Cherry Tintcoat color are currently not available, we do know what the Wild Cherry Package will include, and how it will be offered.
Content
The Wild Cherry Design Package will be split out into two packages.
Wild Cherry Design Package 1 (PDL):
- Black Metallic Hash Mark Stripes
- 20-inch 5-split spoke polished forged wheels with Black star center cap and Camaro logo
- Premium carpeted floor mats with Camaro logo
Wild Cherry Design Package 2 (PDN):

Comments
you knew this was coming… and the radio only plays, “play that funky music”….
Since they’re never advertised, I had assumed the Camaro carline had been discontinued again.
Who knew?
If it’s selling, there is no point to advertising….
Because GM only sold 48,265 Camaros in in 2019, compared to Ford, which sold 72,489 Mustangs that same year. And for 2019, the Camaro saw a drop from 2018 sales of 50,963.
Its in 3rd and they’re ready to cancel it… it needs marketing…
The problem is, they’re not selling. This will probably be the last gen Camaro. Too Bad, it’s a really good 2 seat car.
Guess my car’s value is going to stabilize. Not that I want to sell it. .. unless it is to get a zl1
It’s interesting that Chevrolet didn’t decide to name this entry level car as the Wild Cherry Camaro like Pontiac of yesteryear did with it’s Firebird by naming the base car the Esprit; imagine if Chevrolet equipped all Camaro Wild Cherry with the 2.7L DOHC-4v 4-cyl turbo that makes 310 horsepower and 348 lb-ft of torque.
Well not that anything matters when it comes to names or models of the Camaro they did make a difference Camaro model like Pontiac it was called the Berlinetta not sure of the spelling but that was during the time of the Firebird Esprit
All the Automakers want to sell are the hi-profit, gas-guzzling SUVs and pickups. No wonder they never advertised the smaller cars then complained why they didn’t sell.
Screw the planet and everything, they just care about the almighty dollar.
You do realize that the automakers are in business to make money, and to do that they need to build what people want, and right now they want trucks and SUV’s.
I’m not saying that I agree with GM’s (and Ford’s) decision to abandon the car market, but they’re building what people want right now, and it’s not cars. Other than Volkswagon, Honda and Mercedes, just about ever other automaker’s best selling vehicle is a truck or SUV, even Porsche and Jag’s current best sellers are CUV’s!
Why does everyone think SUV are gas hogs. Most get better than passenger cars because the larger engines work less and when you need to sit 5 up to 7 people, plus a lot of baggage for long trips, even to grandma’s house during the holidays, passenger cars become useless.
Why are they assuming my 6 speed 445hp /455 LBS Tq SS Camaro is a gas guzzler?? I can get damn near 27 or 28 MPG on the highway cruising at 65 mph.
My Camaro 1SS, 455Hp/455 lbs torque (LT1), 10 speed automatic is the same; 27-28 MPG at 70 or more and with AFM it’s only running on four cylinders in 10th gear.
I’m chomping to put a Camaro in my garage, but I need a back seat that can fit my two tweens. At least for a weekend trip. We’ve tried the 6th gen Camaro multiple times and it’s just way too tight. If they could hollow the backs of the front seats and thin the padding on the rear seats, you could gain 2-3” of rear knee and leg room.
Of course now it’s way too late. GM should have done this a couple years ago. At this point the Camaro is driving off into the sunset.
It’s a two person sports car that’s it . two very small kids can be taken for a ride Because I have done that with my sisters grand kids a few times. They where 5 and 7 I had no complaints from them . It extra trip storage in the back seat and trunk with the top up or down , dam !!! people it’s a sports car built for two and and a amazing car at that, so buy your suv if you need one that makes sense, but for fun and for two people that have grown kids with there own cars, it a lovely car for road trips, .shopping ,and just to have fun in. We love our 6 gen SS With the top down ,we have had nothing but great things to say about her.Thank GM for the memories that are still to come .
I have a 2019 Camaro 2SS and I absolutely love it. I’ve never understood the complaining about the back seat, the visibility, the cargo space, etc. It’s a muscle car for Pete’s sake! If you want a family car, buy a sedan. If you want cargo space, buy a SUV. For the money, you can’t find a better value. 455 HP, 455 foot pounds of torque, and lots of advanced technology/equipment for under $60K. I love the looks, performance, and value of this car. It puts a smile on my face EVERY single time I drive her. The negative comments come mostly from those who want it to be what it’s not. The Camaro isn’t for everyone. It’s a toy. Expecting it to be a family daily driver is ludicrous!
No Complaints with the visibility or the cargo space, but the back seat is ridiculous. I took one for a test drive, and with the drivers seat where I wanted it, there was virtually zero room for a persons legs for the back seat passenger. I know the Camaro isn’t meant for cross country trips, but you should be able to take a couple people with you for a day trip. GM let form win out over function when it came to the back seat, which is too bad, because the rest of the car is ALL function. That is why the Challenger outsells it. If there is a 7th Gen, GM really needs to fix that to make it a success.
The back seat is pretty much useless for passengers. I have my driver’s and passenger’s seat all the way back as I’m 6 foot tall and for the overall comfort for the wife and I when we go cruising. But, as far as the Camaro goes, I don’t care about the back seat. I didn’t purchase it to travel across country or take friends out on the town. That’s what our SUV is for. I also have a lil hatchback for my DD. My kid is grown and I’m in my 50’s. I would’ve never owned a car like this when younger and raising a family. If that were the case, I would’ve owned a TransAm 30 years ago instead of sedans and SUV’s. That’s why they make different models with different features. To satisfy the needs of all. Those needs change as life goes on. Just because a car isn’t everything someone wants it to be doesn’t mean it’s a bad car. It just means it’s not the car for you at the point you’re at in your life right now. The Camaro isn’t for everyone and everyone isn’t for the Camaro.
BTW, I drove the Challenger and the Mustang. I loved the Mustang too but the interior looked very cheap to me with too many seams and the Challenger was impressive but I find the car ugly. Also, every single coupe that I’ve ever owned had a cramped backseat. That’s just the nature of the design.
Peace & Progress
I’ve got a 5th Gen Camaro, and the Back seat is Cramped. The 6th gen is unusable, thats why I don’t own a 6th gen. GM Builds Cadillacs on the same platform that the Camaro is built on, I’m sure they could pull it off somehow. If I wanted a 2 seater, id get a corvette or a Miata.
I also would have purchased a Camaro already if the back seat had 3-5 more inches of leg room or the roof was high enough to move the seat up for more leg room in the back. As is now the backseat is a glorified fabric / leather briefcase shelf. I would have purchased a 2916 Chevy SS if it had the same Android auto apple car play tech as the Camaro SS2. And most important, if they made a black Trans Am that looked like a retro 1977 and it was done right I would be first in line to pre order. Other than the Corvette, GM hasn’t devoted effort into design for a long time.
For now I still drive my LS1 2000 Trans Am until GM can design (beauty and function, not engineering) a car worth upgrading to. They make great drivetrains and I appreciate the Tremec 6 speed transmission and tech, but ergonomics driving a 5-6 gen Camaro or fitting passengers into the back, it’s bad. And the 4th gen as far as rear seating is not that good but at least it’s possible , but more importantly the 4th gen everything is for the driver, great clutch location, shifter at perfect position, etc… I just feel like GM takes the easy way out rather than put effort into checking all the boxes.
The Camaro has never been a family car anyways I don’t know why everybody’s complaining about the back seat legroom it’s not meant for that that part is just for show if they’re going to continue to complain just make it into a two-seater sports car as it already is anyways and add more performance to it
Instead of worrying about a back seat let’s see if we can make it 1100 horsepower Factory car
Well I guess with an unusable back seat many cherries will be saved instead of taken.
The original pony car was designed to have a usable, albeit cramped, back seat. The Mustang still achieves this today, but not the Camaro. Just comparing apples to apples and the history of the car. A 1-4th gen Camaro you could sit in the back seat.
