Chevy Camaro sales increased 22 percent in July in the United States.
According to internal sales documents seen by GM Authority, sales of the storied muscle car rose 22 percent in July. The actual volume unit wasn’t shown, since General Motors no longer breaks out sales on a monthly basis. Even so, we can still do some extrapolating to arrive at an estimate.
During the third quarter of 2019 – a time period that includes July (as well as August and September), Chevy Camaro sales totaled 12,275 units. Evenly distributing that sales volume by the three months represented by the quarter results in 4,091 units per month. A growth of 22 percent over that figure would result in 900 units more, or an estimated 4,991 units for the month of July 2020.
U.S. Chevy Camaro sales have been on a steady decline since the introduction of the current, sixth-generation model. The model accounted for 67,940 deliveries during the 2017 calendar year, 50,963 units for the 2018 calendar year, and 48,265 units for the 2019 calendar year.
Chevy Camaro sales performance in various international markets was as follows.

For the 2021 model year, the Camaro receives a handful of minor changes and updates, the most prominent of which is the addition of Wireless Apple CarPlay and Wireless Android Auto as standard equipment. Additionally, the Wild Cherry Tintcoat exterior color has been added to the Camaro’s palette. The new color is available as a standalone, extra-cost option, and is also included with the 2021 Camaro Wild Cherry package.
The Shock and Steel Special Edition is deleted, though both the Shock and Steel exterior colors remain. Other changes include newfound availability of the ten-speed automatic transmission on SS models equipped with the 1LE Track Performance Package. Additionally, the RS Package and Redline Edition Package are now available on LT1 models.
Per a GM Authority analysis, 2021 Camaro prices remain unchanged. Production of the 2021 Chevy Camaro is already underway, as assembly began at the GM Lansing Grand River plant on August 6th, 2020.

Bought my then 16 year old son a new 2017 Garnet Red Tintcoat Camaro RS, V6, A8 (2nd flush and no more shutter), and we all love it. 335 HP & 30 mph on the road. I had 6 Chevelles, 2 Camaros, & 1Monte Carlo SS from 1970 to 1987. Still own the 79 Vette I bought in 1987. GM doing very little to keep Camaro or any car except Corvette alive. BTW, your statistics kill me, a 62.5% increase in Camaro sales in Brazil July 20 over July 19. They sold 13 instead of 8. That’s really going to shakeup the manufacturers of Mustang & Challenger! GM will give up all sedan markets to the Japanese & other foreign makes, but all electric is on the way whether most US customers want them or not! Most Charger V6 buyers probably don’t even know its rear wheel drive & it sells, GM no longer wants to compete in that segment. Didn’t seem to want to compete inthe new Bronco market either. So it goes.
CAMARO 2021....Give Me The Magnetic Ride On The ZL1 1LE!..I Am Tired Of Teeth Fillings Jarring Loose On The Highway....Second... Offer The Front End Styling (ZL1-1LE) On The Regular ZL1. Do The Same For The SS-1LE! This Should Of Been A No Brainer From The Start!!!!!
Wheels: The 1LE is made to track. The DSSV shocks make that car like the 16th fastest production car around the Ring and it only costs around $75K. If you want the Mag Ride you should have left off the 1LE package. Yea they ride rough, it is a purpose built car, and ride quality wasn't a top concern. It is pretty evident when a nonpurist buys a ZLE. Buy one of the best production track cars to come out of Detroit at the best price point and then complain about the attributes that make it so.
Obviously you didn't read the article, it's up 22% in the US. Ask Ford and FCA how their sedan program is going or tell the gluttonous American public you don't need trucks to go from a-b "dep mask is fur those city Demoncrats".....
Live in nyc . Plenty liberal democrats not wearing masks everywhere and when asked to put them on they tell you to F off .
The media likes to focus on but jobs that happen to vote republican and ignoring nut jobs that vote Democrat . The democratic and republic parties really should be spit into 4 plus parties .
The media focuses and actually integrates into entertainment a negative image of one faction of republic voters and ignores all negative factions of the Democratic Party
Living in nyc I have heard the crap Antifa is spewing for decades
Yea , (btw both parties are Sbags) no moderate Democrats or Liberal cites are obsessed with the meth crisis that's still ongoing, mass unemployment, murders and riots in Red cites like Omaha, Phoenix, Ft. Worth, etc. Then right-wing hypocrisy of getting the nation back to "gowd" , guns, law while ignore or perpetuate racism, wealth gaps, unnecessary wars.
Are there left-wing loons?, absolutely but because you have a few left leaning opinions don't make you some linebacker, 250 lb dress-wearing dude wanting free everything.
I do agree it should be 4 parties (right-wing, conservative and liberal, left-wing).
I want Camaro to survive and I read every word and statistic. With the 22% increase they estimate 4,991 July sales in the US. Would mean 59,892 for the 2020 calendar year if that average was for the whole year, (I don’t know monthly average sales for the 1st six months, but pretty sure in 3rd place most if not all months). Do you think that will save the Camaro? It would probably leave it in 3rd place for the year. Maybe close to Challenger, but far behind Mustang. Also listed two different sales numbers for 2018, so I assume the latter is for 2019 totals. You can make math say a lot of things. I love Camaro and Chevy, but it looks like you better buy a Camaro by the 2023 model year because no 7th Generation is in sight as of now. Next may be electric sometime in the future as GM drops it again.
3rd place in a one-leg men's race?. All 3 coupes have lower sales numbers with in a pandemic economy, 22% increase with today's market and economic factors isn't a small thing. Mustang was always earmarked for the current Explorer's platform day one, all FCA full-sized cars go on an AR platform also.
There's no indication that Camaro is going away, the Alpha platform is going away soon but not the rwd vehicles that's on it nor being replaced by EVs only.
Camaro is a dead brand walking. GM has ceded this segment to Mustang and Dodge. Ford has kept Mustang updated or refreshed and its owners energized. Dodge is selling horsepower.
I do not know what GM is thinking if anything.
"Ford has kept Mustang updated or refreshed and its owners energized."
- As does Chevy with the gen 6 Camaro. They're already done all kinds of things like new trims and packages plus two refreshes throughout this lifecycle and will do more before it's gone.
"Dodge is selling horsepower. I do not know what GM is thinking if anything."
- Chevy is selling performance.
- Ford is selling nostalgia.
- Dodge is selling horsepower but not performance because it has an old, heavy and outdated platform that does not perform well in high-performance driving scenarios like at the track.
GM isn't discounting the Camaro nor is it pricing it cheap. It's still making solid money on it. The opportunity is to look to international markets to expand Camaro sales.
It really is a shame, because the 6th gen Camaro is a great car. I know because I own one. Had a 1st gen before they were worth anything, that I should have kept.
I think one of the big reasons for lagging sales is that the pricing was too high, which they have partially addressed by re-shuffling option packages.
The other big failure on GM's part was they never advertise the Camaro. If they had tv ads that featured "in your face"performance and were as good as the Challenger ads (many of which are excellent), I bet they would sell more cars.
Sorry for double post. Have requested deletion. I am also a car person. Realize the world has turned TO SUV and pickups. 1st vehicle was a 65 El Camino that was quickly sold for a 66 Malibu coupe. Hate to see Chevy cars go, Daily driver is an Impala bought new, For many years was my 79 vette I still own.
Maybe they should try to price it right and market the car instead of ignoring it.
Yeah, agree 100%. Dodge commercials kill it for Charger & Challenger. Shortly after we bought my son’s ‘17, we were filling up with gas one night. A guy was looking it over and came over & asked what it was. When we said, Camaro, he stated he didn’t know that they were still made. Sadder point was that he owned 2 vettes, a 90’s & a Gen 7. Been a long time since I’ve seen a Camaro commercial. My son’s was a left over in 2018. Ended up getting $6200 off in rebates and discounts. They were ready to let it go.
Camaro is a Identity models of Chevrolet. GM should prepare the next generation camaro!
I agree with GEM OUT's sentiment that the Camaro is an "identity" car, but I would probably call it a "halo" car. Its cool factor is something that can improve the image of the entire brand, which is now composed almost entirely of CUV's and SUV's. As practical as those vehicles are, they don't generate feelings of emotion when a person sees them like a muscle car or a sports car does.
Any speculation as to the cause of the 22% percent sales increase in July?
but yet the morons plan to discontinue
They're still building Camaros?
Who knew? Haven't seen an advertisement for that carline in YEARS.
