The Subaru BRZ was the only model to show an increase in sales volume, with the new second-generation model placing fourth in the expanded segment with a whopping 207 percent jump to 1,598 units, placing it just after the Camaro. The BRZ’s platform mate, the Toyota GR 86, introduced its second-generation model after the BRZ and subsequently started its sales cycle later. That may account for it taking sixth place with only 109 deliveries.
The GM Authority Take
The lackluster sales performance of Chevy’s muscle car is the direct result of four factors:
- Lower market demand for the Camaro when compared to its direct rivals. This has been the case since the launch of the sixth-gen Camaro for the 2016 model year.
- Very low inventory / dealer supply of the Camaro as a result of the ongoing microchip shortage, which has impacted the GM Lansing Grand River plant where the Camaro is made. The situation has created an on-again, off-again affair when it comes to Camaro production. As reported by GM Authority, production of the 2022 Camaro at the facility began on August 17th but was idled on September 13th. Production has just recommenced on October 4th.
- A change in consumer vehicle purchase dynamics, wherein car buyers trend away from cars and toward pickups trucks and utilities (crossovers and SUVs). A secondary movement involves customer migration toward electric vehicles. While this is a slow-going change, these vehicles are set to eventually take the performance mantel as they (ironically) have higher levels of performance than their ICE counterparts.
Besides the aforementioned inventory / supply issues as well as macro changes in customer preferences, the decline in Camaro sales can also be attributed to several problem areas with the product itself. We’ve outlined these issues in thorough detail at the link below:
As GM Authority readers know full well, the current, sixth-gen Camaro is on its final legs, and is currently set to go out of production in 2023 as a 2024 model-year vehicle. The final model year will receive a commemorative heritage special edition.
Going forward, we imagine Camaro sales improving slightly so long as availability improves. This is bound to take place, since Camaro production is now back online after weeks of being idle during the 2021 calendar year. That said, we don’t see the vehicle selling in volumes remotely close to those seen by the Challenger and Mustang, unless Chevrolet substantially changes its strategy on the Camaro by offering substantial incentives on the vehicle, advertising it more prominently, or a combination of both activities.

Just kill this junk off already
It’s a good car that suffers from marketing abandonment by Mary and company. Performance numbers are good, but who even knows the car exists??? Dodge continues to sell an ownership experience of performance and power. They also believe in making good Halo cars out of their trucks and Challengers. This results in more sales and generates market excitement.
I have no faith in GM leadership. they give up on the Camaro Ive had one ordered since 4-8-21 nobody will explain why just a mess no faith in GM anymore
It’s a good car for car enthusiasts, but its terrible packaging and horrible visibility make it impractical for 90% of the population.
Where is the electric Camaro based on the “e-COPO” prototype? It can stay as a Sportscar and not as a new SUV as what Ford did to the Mustang Mach-E which sells more than the gas Mustang.
What’s a Loco?
Just need to cut about 700lbs from fat boy and make it electric. Never understood electric is perfect for any sports car since most people don’t take them on long trips. You see these cars used with low miles all the time.
” set to go out of production in 2023 “, says the author, nothing coming from GM even saying that.. Probably will see an EV version sold with an ICE version like Mustang and soon Challenger..
Guesst the fact that GM has said anything about the Camaro going out of production hopefully means the car will continue on alongside an EV Sports Sedan or CUV like the mustang Mach E…. I mean everyone said years ago when Dodge brought back the Charger “NO you can’t make the charger a four door sedan” but guess what it worked and the charger has been huge seller for the Dodge brand, when Ford brought out the MACH E people said “but that’s not a true Mustang” but again it worked and Ford can’t build enough Mach E mustangs to meet demand! Maybe if the Camaro had a companion sedan or CUV in EV which is the way Dodge is going now EV the Camaro would continue on as a halo car. But that’s another problem Chevy has the Corvette as a halo car… Dodge and Ford do not the mustang and charger are their sports halo cars… There is no longer a viper or Ford GT thus there is no in house competition at Dodge or Ford I imagine someone looking at a Camaro ZL1 for $70,000 dollars also looks at the Corvette stingray… I mean even a Camaro SS all loaded up with the V8 and options can approach $60,000 dollars that’s base Corvette stingray territory. I know the Camaro and Corvette are totally different but I imagine that once people see what a bargain the base Corvette stingray is they forget all about the poor Camaro… Even the ZL1.
I don’t think that I will ever sell or trade my ZL1 . It’s a great platform and where I live you don’t see many . The vehicle is awesome . Shame on Chevrolet for wanting to kill the original pony car
I have had my LT1 for almost a year. I intended for it to be a weekend toy but it is such a blast to drive, I will take it out for mundane trips to the grocery store or to dinner. The power and handling are amazing. GM really makes no effort to market it. My first choice was a Charger ScatPak followed by Mustang GT. I just kind of stumbled on the Camaro. Driving it was all it took for me to change my mind. It puts the other 2 to shame if you are into overall driving dynamics. I am not a 1 make kind of guy, I am an enthusiast. Dodge markets well to the enthusiast. Everybody on the planet seems to have a Mustang. I rode in a client’s Tesla Model S with dual motors. The acceleration was spine tingling but the rest of the experience left me unimpressed. The visceral thrill of a V8 rumble and sound just can’t be beat. I have no desire to own an electric vehicle, just way too sterile an experience. I plan on keeping my LT1 forever. I will probably add another toy, just won’t be an electric Camaro.
I agree with you for the most part. Except the Camaros are more capable of being a daily driver, and can be used for winter driving on snow/ice. The Corvette is strictly a summer/weekend car. If someone is only able to own 1 car, but want something fun, a Camaro is a great option.
Yea its funny how they word it.
S650 Mustang comes out 2023/2024.
6th gen Camaro set to end 2023.
I would think that means the 7th gen Camaro is coming out 2024/2025.
2035, BEV or Hybrid 8th gen Camaro.
The Cadillac CT4/5 has a 2.0T, 2.7T and the Blackwing.
I would be willing to bet the 7th gen Camaro will be offered with the same 2.0T, the 2.7T to replace the V6, and the Blackwing’s powertrain in the SS/ZL1.
People have a ‘fear of missing out’ (FOMO), and I think GM is playing along with that, and keeping things very hush hush about the 7th gen Camaro so people keep buying the 6th gens.
Why did they Not put price in, with their EXCUSES why it doesn’t do as well as Mustang and Challenger??????
I’m not sure why Samuel is getting the down votes. Camaro’s pricing when compared to what you can get a Mustang or Challenger for is certainly a factor. Not everyone is rich AF and can afford anything they want.
when they put a 4 cylinder in a Camaro they lost the market. Little old ladies from Casabena don’t go to church on Sundays in a 4 Banger Camaro. bring back the Z28 with a minimum 800 ponies and wake up the masses. Make it so the customer can order it with the options they want standard tranny, rear end gears, put the CD back in the car, and lower the price 20%..If GM loses the camaro as we know it …it will be a major setback.
I mean… high horsepower is not what the Z/28 was all about in the 5th gen, 800 hp is not useful, in fact it would hurt a car like the camaro….
And the tiny fact both Mustang and Challenger will have base turbo 4s soon….
So you want to increase the hp to a minimum of 800hp that would be a multi thousand dollar upgrade and then turn around and discount the car by 20%. And just how would GM make money on this car?
@GEORGE
not everyone has the money to afford more than 1 car, or daily drive a gas guzzling V8. The 2.0T Camaro is a fun car, 0-60mph in 5.4s, which is faster than V8 Camaros from gen 1 to gen 4. People laugh at the 2.0T Camaro because it’s not a V8, but it outputs similar performance numbers to a modern Civic Type R or Subaru WRX STI for half the price.
I love my 2ss ,I waited 61 years to finally purchase my retirement dream car. She is a beauty ,gm sure has come along ways in quality. If you want a ev ok ,but it will never have the old school craftsmanship that I have come to appreciate .Drill a hole instead dig ahole.
congratulations!!!! That is one hell of a dream car, one of my dream cars too.
I’VE HAD A 1967 CAMARO, A 1968 SS CAMARO, 1970 CAMARO, 2011 CAMARO, AND A 2019 CAMARO. BESIDES A T TOP CORVETTE STINGRAY AND A 1965 STINGRAY CONVERTABLE ………. BESIDES CHEVY TRUCKS OFF AND ON FROM 1988. LEAVING CAMARO IN A DUST STORM IS WRONG. ESPECIALLY WHEN ALL THE RECENT CHARGERS AND SUCH, ALL LOOK KIND OF LOOK JUST LIKE A CAMARO BY THE SIDE. HECK THE 2010 CAMARO, LOOKS QUITE LIKE THE FIRST 1967 1/2 CAMARO. SAD DAY, WHEN GM TAKES IT AWAY. THE NEWER MUSTANGS ARE UGLY NOW TOO!! I WILL PROBABLY GET A 2022 CAMARO OR 2023 CAMARO, AFTER I SEE WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE! CURRENTLY HAVE A BLACK 2019 CAMARO WITH 12,000 MILES!! EVERY ONE THAT SEES IT LOVES IT. I DON’T HAVE ANY DESIRE TO PLEASE ANYONE WITH A NEWER CAMARO………………..I LEARNED TO DRIVE ON A 1967 STANDARD SHIFT CAMARO WITH MY HUSBAND.
It appears that you also learned to type with your caps lock on.
What did you expect the name is Karen.
I LOVE THE CAMARO FROM WAY BACK. WE HAD TO PUT TRACTION BARS ON THEM, BACK THEN. THE BLACK 2019 I HAVE WITH 12,000 MILES, IS MY TYPE OF CAR!! BEAUTY AND MIGHT SAY (BRAINS) FOR WHAT IT CAN DO. NOW I’M OLD, AT 71, BUT AS I SAID, FIRST CAR I HAD WITH MY HUSBAND, IN 1967 (HALF YEAR CAR..CAME IN JANUARY 68! IT HANDLES SO NICE AND EVEN THOUGH I GOT IT FOR ME…NOT FOR OTHERS………………..EVERYONE THAT SEES IT, SAYS WHAT CAR IS THAT. WHEN I SAY A CAMARO, THY ALL SAY THAT THEY JUST POSITIVELY LOVE IT. I SAY, THEN GET ONE! LOL YES……………..BEAUTY AND BRAINS! IF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE IT, GOT IT……………….. IT WOULD NEVER STOP BEING MADE. I DON’T THINK CHEVROLET DOESN’T PUT OUT ENOUGH CAR COMMERCIALS ON IT, LIKE THEY USED TO DO. BACK SEAT IS NEVER USED…….. BUT CAN LAY IT DOWN, FOR MORE ROOM.
Good for you Karen.! 71 years old and still rockin a proper pony car. Thats awesome.
Right on!!!!!! I love the 2019 Camaro refresh too, has that old school look with the rounded tail lights and the large/open front intake vents.
I’M FAR FROM RICH, BUT CAMAROS ARE THE SHARPEST LOOKING CARS AROUND. I WOULD NEVER GET A CORVETTE, UNLESS IT WAS THE STING RAY VERSION FROM 63 TO 67. THE OTHER CARS MENTIONED, USED TO BE SUCH BIG MACHINES, BUT THE CAMARO HAS THE “IT” FACTOR. AT 71, I’VE SEEN THEM ALL, FROM 66 ON UP, THEY WERE NOT AS SLEEK AS THE 67 1/2 YEAR CAMARO, WHEN IT CAME OUT. JUST NEEDED TRACTION BARS BACK THEN. MY BEAUTY IS THE CAMAROS………… ALL OF THE FIRST FEW………. THEN THESE LAST SEVERAL ONES, THAT START TO HAVE THAT BEAUTIFUL BODY SHAPE, MY HUSBAND AND I LOVED. I USED TO DRAG RACE SOME, WITH THE 65 VET AND 68SS CAMARO. MY HUSBAND BACK THEN, TAUGHT ME HOW TO DRIVE, SHIFT, CLUTCH HOLDING ON STEEP INCLINES……..ETC. HE HAS PASSED AFTER 34 YEARS….BUT WE WOULD HAVE BEEN MARRIED54 YEARS!!! I GRADUATED AT 17 AND DIDN’T TURN 18 THE NEXT YEAR. HE WAS 24, BUT LOOKED 19! NEW HIS CARS! I’M FOREVER GREATFUL FOR HIM TEACHING ME ON A MANUAL SHIFTING CAMARO. TOO MANY CARS, ESPECIALLY THE BIG TRAVELING CARS………………..LOOK ALL THE SAME NOW. BUT, I LIKED TRUCKS TOO…CHEVY IN 1988! OH WELL, JUST TALKING TOO MUCH. THE 1968 SS CAMARO WOULD GO UP TO A HIGH TACK, BEFORE SHIFTING THE FIRST TIME. OLD, BUT LOVE CAMARO FOR THEIR OBVIOUSY BEAUTY. HAVE FUN TALKING ABOUT THEM!!!!
Camaro is a great car if you like a chopped top that you can’t see out of and a dash that is hideous. Chevrolet needs to remodel the design and make it more practical with a GTO style dash and easy to look out of. The drivetrain and suspension is the best but doesn’t work with a poorly designed car. The Dodge is obsolete but still provides a very usable vehicle for most buyers. The Mustang beats the Camaro in every way except for the drivetrain but it matches the Camaro there. I’m a GM guy but disappointed with many of the decisions that are controlled by the bean counters.
The visibility thing on Camaros is a non-issue once you daily drive one. I got so used to driving a Camaro, I forgot what driving with “normal” visibility feels like. To be honest, I wouldn’t mind it if the 7th gen Camaro still has that low roof like how it is now.
GM , just needs to get away from the oriental styling on the front end and basically clone the 68 Camaro and they will overtake the Mustang and dodge.
To gain market share it is necessary for Chevrolet to actually build the Camaro. The Lansing Plant has been down more than up over the last 12 months. The LT1 is the model that could save the Camaro. All of the performance of the SS at a much more competitive price point. The leases on the LT1 are exceptional compared to the SS for reasons other than just the difference in price. The SS Coupe residual on a 24 month lease with 10,000 miles is 67% while the LT1’s residual is 72%. Then there is the interest rate 7.63% on the SS and 2.69% on the LT1. GM could not build LT1’s fast enough 2 years ago and even into the pandemic until the semiconductor issues started and GM decided to kill the Camaro and Malibu to allow for the more profitable truck market. I would have done the same thing.
Stop beating on the Camaro there are no other $38-$40K GO Fast Cars out there that perform like the Camaro. The Camaro LT1 sells just fine, but Chevrolet has to actually build and ship them so we can sell them.
You’re right, dealers can’t sell what they don’t have!
Had my local dealer order the 2SS Convertible I want back in August with their allocation; Chevrolet has yet to confirm the order or offer any information on when it might be produced.
A Mustang is looking better and better everyday!
Camaro isn’t a bad car but is definitely underwhelming. Ford has crappy driving dynamics but the design is sleek (but not as good as the Evos concept upon it was based). Challenger is simply bad assed, a beast with timeless design and strong attention to detail. It is the ultimate brash muscle car and unlike any other.
Well, except its still a Dodge with the classic Dodge unreliability.
Muscle cars were always known to be fast in a straight line, and slow around corners with poor handling. The 6th gen Camaro is no longer a muscle car, it’s a true SPORTS CAR now. The Camaro ZL1 did the Nurburgring lap in 7min and 14s which is in the same ball park numbers as Porsche’s and Ferraris. Don’t believe me? Look it up yourself. Underwhelming? I think the real reason the Camaro lost in sales is because people get scared off by the visibility thing. When it comes to handling and track performance, the Camaro is the best of them all.
I would truly love to have a Camaro. I cannot get past it’s lousy styling. The Dodge-esque kink rear window, the ugly front and rear ends and the retro with a tablet Velcroed to the dash interior are just not acceptable for the prices the want. I like the 3rd and 4th gen f-bodies so I’m truly not asking for a whole hell of a lot, surely they can at least deliver that!
