The GM Authority Take

The impressive jump in Camaro sales during Q2 2022 was the result of better availability of the muscle car at the dealer level thanks to restarted production at the Lansing Grand River plant after bouts of downtime and lower production volumes caused by parts and material shortages. Not only have these shortages disrupted Camaro production, but also that of Chevrolet and General Motors, as well as most of the global auto industry at large.

Despite the 63 percent jump in sales volume, Camaro sales continue in third place, the last of its most direct rivals. This can be attributed to several factors that have negatively affected the Camaro, including the aforementioned production and inventory issues. In addition, the Camaro continues to see lackluster interest in the marketplace, which has been the case since the sixth generation debuted for the 2016 model year. Earlier this year, GM Authority took an in-depth look about what went wrong with this sixth-gen model.

In addition, it’s no secret that customer interest has been trending away from the muscle car segment, as shippers are increasingly attracted to utilities (SUVs, crossovers) and pickups. At the same time, the recent electric vehicle push has also reduced demand for vehicles like the Camaro, as they are typically capable of higher performance than their gasoline-powered counterparts. To that end, skyrocketing fuel prices have driven new car buyers to seek more practical and fuel-efficient alternatives.

The Chevy Camaro is on the chopping block, and will be dropped from the Bow Tie’s lineup following the 2024 model year. It will go out with a Camaro Heritage Edition model to commemorate its existence.

Production of the 2023 Chevrolet Camaro was scheduled to begin the first week of June, but that date was pushed back by nearly two weeks to June 24th.

  1. Those sales numbers are just straight up depressing. Sad to see chevy just give up on the camaro. It had so much potential.

  2. Bring the ZL1 in price to reality..watch sales soar. In 2001 a Camaro SS fully loaded was 40,000 plus tax. This car was the top of the line at the time. It had T-tops. Today’s Camaro do not have them. yes it had the LS1 , so it was top of it’s class in performance. I still have mine…and will keep it forever. It has just under 40 Klicks on it runs great. The new ZL1 is almost double the price. Ok it has double the horsepower but that it is because it is supercharged. The comparable Mustang and Hellcat have more. Camaro can increase sales if they drop the price.

    1. Yes, because the Hellcat and Gt500 are inexpensive….🤔

      1. The increase percentage looks impressive until you look at the actual sales number. It’s obvious why GM is cancelling the Camaro. It’s not selling and with the performance market is changing with the departure of the Camaro and the SRT Challenger leaving only the new S650 Mustang.

    1. What should GM expect with no marketing support (discounting Nascar).
      SUV and pickup interest is a self fulfilling prophesy when all marketing support is thrown that way.
      In the early days Camaros and Mustangs were marketed not to gearheads but to young women also, just look at the old ads. Even now I speak to young women who have enjoyed their Camaro or ask what I’m driving because they really like the look.
      The Camaros demise is going to be due to the lack of support.
      It should also be the platform for a real EV sports car, not an SUV sports car like the Mustang.

  5. First of all you need to make a car and advertise they are for sale. If you can’t set in a car very few will be sold. If GM wants to kill a product use some other excuse please.

  6. Bought a 2002 2SS 1LE, picked up at the end of May. In Canada it rings the till at $65,600. Car is fantastic looking and performing. Plus I think a great price. Puzzles me why it’s not a bigger seller🤔🤔🤔

  7. It’s long been fascinating to me how Japanese or Korean makes can somehow design/build/sell vehicles here at comparatively tiny volumes, and somehow (presumably) make’a profit, while our Big 2 cancel models (or even whole brands!) that sell massive volumes stating “there was no business model.”

    I’ve read that the difference is that the Asian makes/models (unlike most US counterparts) sell globally (and so spreading the cost), + currency exchange differences (equals more profit on fewer sales) + no “legacy costs” (pensions, etc.)? Still, selling just’a few thousand units/annually, it doesn’t seem to justify hundreds of millions – or even billions! – of dollars in design and development costs? 😳

    1. Yes, I still miss Pontiac very much, had 4 of them and loved them all. Still driving the 2009 g-6 I bought new as a backup car. It’s been a great car and my wife still drives it regularly instead of her 2019 Nox. Saving the G-6 for my granddaughter.

  8. I think I will order a 2024 SS Farewell edition with a big fat ICE under the hood and a manual transmission.

    Reply
  9. I’ve driven all three and the Camaro, built on the Alpha platform, is the clear winner in driving dynamics and overall ride and handling, quietness, and build quality.

    The Mustang I drove had terrible road noise and so-so handling and ride quality, while the Challenger drove like a heavy tank.

    I’ll buy one of those 2024 Camaro Heritage editions and keep it as a collector car.

  10. Wow, more Camaros available to sell, higher sales, who would have thunk it?

    10 months from the time I placed my order for my 22 2SS Convertible to be built, now working on 5+ week s for shipment to the dealer. All the while, no information at all from GM on where it was in the queue to be built and now they can’t even give me an expected delivery date or tell me where it is. GM really needs to get its head in the game

    1. GM needs new leadership now!

    2. 8 weeks since my car was built and the dealer received the invoice. Chevrolet customer service still can’t tell me where it is or when it will be delivered to the dealer.
      I explained that my concern is that’s 8 weeks of a convertible baking in the sun. I even offered to go pick it up with an enclosed trailer, crickets!
      #GM and #Chevrolet really need to get their heads in the game. Hard to sell cars, when you can’t get them to the dealer!

      1. My car was in a train stuck in intermodal station on rail during the big freeze over year ago. After what I dealt with dependent on delivery its on rail. I thought they trucked them but apparently not. Hang in there bud. Enjoy your car

        1. I’m trying Dylan, but we are one week away from the one year since ordered point.

          The dealer told me it would be rail from Lansing to Petersburg, Va, then truck to the dealer here in North Carolina. They can’t believe it still hasn’t shown up, especially when it is one of three they have “in transit.”

          It amazes me that Amazon can track a $1 item you order from them and tell you where it is in real time and send you a picture when it’s delivered, but GM, a multi-billion dollar international company can’t tell me where a $50k car is.

        Crossovers because they are boring,

  15. Well when you don’t produce Camaros as GM wasn’t last year then you can’t sell them. So small numbers can be a large percentage jump!

  16. Since the Camaro will be gone. And since GM will go all EV. Will Chevrolet go with “Bolt” badges on the NASCAR Cup series race car? It’s either the Bolt, Spark or Malibu. I vote for the spark because it sounds so EV. What do you say Mary? Stay tuned for this one …

  19. Techdocwriter:

    Electricity reliance for motor vehicles is risky in the event of a war, or planned upheavel. For instance a cyber attack on electric utility systems, nuclear electromagnetic pulse disruption, sabotage blasts on major substations, coordinated blackouts, disruptions by elite sinister forces. If you go all in with electric vehicles you are exposing yourself to risk.

    Everybody has some form of liquid fuel storage on hand.

  20. It seems GM has been looking to kill the Camaro for a while. No marketing support at all. Very little recognition that the style of the Camaro appeals not just to gearheads but also to women, minorities and boomers. I have Gen 6 and nearly every time I drive it have someone going out of their way to give a compliment.
    While the Corvette is in a league of its own GM insists on dragging it down to compete with the Mustang. The Camaro has always been the Mustang competition and it’s styling in for example RS trim appeals to an audience that the Mustang isn’t designed for.
