2024 Chevy Camaro Coupe Production Ends This Week

Production of the 2024 Chevy Camaro Coupe will end this week, with the final vehicles rolling off the assembly line on December 14th, according to information obtained from knowledgeable sources by GM Authority. 

The end of production for the 2024 Chevy Camaro Coupe brings the muscle car’s sixth generation to a close as GM permanently discontinues the vehicle in its ICE configuration.

Coupe production was extended after repercussions related to the UAW Stand Up Strike disrupted fulfillment of the final Camaro orders. While production of the 2024 Chevy Camaro Convertible wrapped up on schedule on November 22nd, some Coupe units still needed to be produced. The General missed its original December 7th deadline for assembling this final batch of cars.

At first, it was only known that GM had continued Coupe manufacture beyond the planned time, but now a firm date has been confirmed. The wrap-up arrives just slightly more than three months after order books for the Coupe closed on September 6th.

While the 2024 Chevy Camaro retires the internal combustion engine configuration of the muscle car, GM has provided official confirmation the nameplate will be resurrected as a future model at some point, possibly as an EV. Scott Bell, the vice president of Global Chevrolet, remarked that “while we are not announcing an immediate successor today, rest assured, this is not the end of Camaro’s story.”

The Camaro will continue to be used competitively as well, providing the vehicles for a lineup of races that include NASCAR, IMSA, SRO, NHRA, and the Supercars Championship.

The eventual revamp of the Chevy Camaro as an EV may see it return not as a single model, but as an electric vehicle sub-brand featuring a range of models within it. In addition to a muscle car and a more moderately priced Chevy Corvette equivalent, the Camaro brand might include two-door and four-door Camaro SUVs.

For now, the last few 2024 Chevy Camaro units continue to ride on the GM Alpha platform, with final production taking place at the GM Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan.

  1. Sad to see what the auto industry is becoming. A bunch of electric blobs. Enjoy your EV CUVs.

    1. Mary should read the above comment. Not so much for it’s content but for the likes to dislikes ratio. If my company was dumping billions into EV’s, this ratio would be extremely concerning to me.

      1. Nothing like doubling down on a losing strategy. Straight out of the Roger Smith school of Management.

    2. I fully agree. I think they can can all of their electric crap right now. I am also very disappointed in the canceling of the Camaro. We definitely need a new chief in charge. Mary Barre should be one. We need a Car guy in charge and build what the people want, not what they want us to drive.
      They can keep all of their electric cars and trucks.

  2. Why not turn every SUV, crossover, and pickup truck into EV first before even attempting to mutilate this icon? Camaros are such a neglible part of the automobile market that surely they have no significant impact on emissions or quota targets.

    1. The keyword there is “negligable”. Hence the decision to axe production.

  3. Mary is in a hurry to end Camaro. Couldn’t even let it run full model year. Aggravating.

    1. Mary is actually a pretty big Camaro fan. It’s even in her company bio…. so chill.

      1. It’s Government Motors. What do people expect, GM to put your interests ahead of those of self-serving ideologues in our federal government?

        Their ideas drive GM’s decisions and then you pay for it. This is collectivism in a nutshell. Mussolini would be impressed with the size of our government.

        1. No, you’re all wrong. It’s actually product planning and future growth. The company has a schedule for products and investments based on where each specific market is growing and where they think they can compete. The Camaro is a distant third in line in it’s space. Gm never redesigned it to address the outward vision problems. Hence, sales started to decline after the novelty was over.

          The market for muscle cars today is in decline. The reason why Ford built the Mustang originally was because post-WW2 baby boomer market was growing. Young people aren’t buying these cars much less afford them.

          1. And whose fault was it that the vision problems were never redesigned?

            Reply
            1. Agreed, it’s gm’s. They never fixed the design, precisely why they take third place in the segment. Shame on them. It’s too late now though, you have to kill this car.

          2. There are no vision problems. I drive the vehicle to work every single day and can see through the rear window and on both sides. Do you even own a Camaro?

            Reply
            1. I have a ‘22 SS convertible, no issues seeing out of it, even with smaller rear window. My brother had a ‘22 LT1 coupe, even easier to see out of!

              Reply
              1. Ya, the only vision problems I had were when I was squinting in the rear view mirror of my 2019 2SS 1LE trying to see the Mustang I just obliterated in the S bend country road outside my town.

            2. Sight lines in the Camaro are significantly inferior to Mustang, which itself doesn’t have great sight lines. Camaro also has a particularly small trunk opening. Most buyers are not boy racers. Older drivers find the bathtub seating difficult to get in and out of.

  4. Another in a long line of bad news during this dreadful era. Many car enthusiasts are referring to the 2020’s as Malaise era II and I 100% agree with them!

    1. Only trump can finally stop this when he wins the presidency.

      1. “HAHAHA”!! Think again… “HAHAHA”!! You’re real funny with your very imaginative presumptions/assumptions but nonetheless. America’s over-bloated tan clown simply hated the automotive industry as a whole but had unwarranted disrespect towards the “Big Three” period. Especially GM because his predecessor saving of the brand..

        Also the rumor of him not actually having a diver’s licence along with not knowing how to drive because he fears it.

  5. What a complete waste of a wonderful performing car! Gm could have done so much more with this Camaro. Such a shame…

    Reply
  6. Only remaining ICE car for Chevy other than the Corvette will be the Malibu. Can’t wait to see how they screw up the redesigned 2025 model with some whimpy engine, likely less than a 2.0L. Meanwhile they have totally given the car market to the foreign competitors. A decision that will bite them in the butt in the coming years. Not everyone wants a CUV or SUV as GM has led you to believe. At least Ford is smart enough to keep the Mustang around for the next several years.

    1. A profitable replacement for the Camaro should have been some sort of 4 door sport sedan with AWD capability and a few engine options or a trailblazer ss replacement.

      1. Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing already fills that niche

  7. A purchase is a vote.
    If enough folks purchased one, they’d likely still be making them.

    1. They didn’t even fulfill sold orders…….mine was in since early August for an LT1 convertible………How many other sold orders were allowed to go unfulfilled……

      Reply
    2. Can’t sell what you don’t build or ship in a timely manner. Ordered my ‘22 SS convertible in August of ‘21. It was built the first week of May ‘22. Test drove a ‘23 SS coupe the end of August ‘22, 3 weeks before mine was delivered to the dealer.
      V8 models have been selling well, but high interest rates and inflation are killing all car sales now. A comparably equipped ‘23 is $5k more than my ‘22.

  8. I tried to purchase 1 in 2022 and 2023 and still could not get my order. Not sure what to buy now.

    Reply
  9. This may be wishful thinking, but when that new Chevy V8 supposed to be out?

    Reply
  10. Thanks for the memories. My first new car ever purchased was a Camaro so I always have had a soft spot for them. Unfortunately the latest ones made me feel like I was sitting in a dark cave so passed on buying one.

    Reply
  11. Glad I have a 2019 SS in my garage with very low milage. I have NO interest in electric vehicles and will just keep my Camaro in tiptop shape and enjoy it for many years to come!

  12. Looks like GM is dedicated to building boring .. When Air Force One becomes electric .. I’ll give the electric car some thought .. maybe !

    Reply
  13. Thanks for your opinion.

    Muscle cars have always been a “fun car”. They were never meant to be anything but that. This idea that their viability must be justified by comparing them to overall sales, which include vehicles sold for more practical means is a waste if everybody’s time. It’s irrelevant.

    1. Exactly… when Bob Lutz created the Solstice and Sky convertibles to compete with the Miata and S2000 they lost around $16,000 per car. Lutz said, “I don’t care, it pulls customers into the showroom and creates sales of other vehicles from customers who would have never set foot in the dealership except to view the drop tops.” It’s a brilliant but lost philosophy.

  14. My order for a ZL1 never got picked up at my dealership, so I went on the hunt. Three weeks later and several phone calls, I found a 2024 2SS Riverside Blue Metallic in transit and put a deposit down.

    Man, it was a real bear to find one with most of the options I wanted. It was a real frustrating process, but I should have mine before the end of the month.

    When I purchased my 2010 2 SS Imperial Blue Metallic Camaro in 2009, I picked it up on Christmas Eve. Maybe Christmas will come early again.

  16. Amazingly enough it’s the 18th of December……no more Camaro’s to be built and employees have been informed of their layoff’s at the plant…….however build and price is still out there and working………too bad everything else is shut down.

    1. Ya … Mary Christmas, oops I mean Merry. GM holds the corporate record for most layoffs during the holiday season. And that’s no lie, that’s a fact.
