The sixth-generation Chevy Camaro is no more, with the final unit rolling off the line at the GM Lansing Grand River plant in Michigan last month. However, despite its discontinuation, we can’t help but have a little fun with the recently departed sports car. Now, we’re serving up this hypothetical Chevy Camaro High Country rendering.
Before we dive into this, it bears mentioning that this rendering is nothing more than a creative exercise on our part, just to see what such a vehicle could look like. It’s also worth reminding readers that the High Country trim level is typically offered as the luxurious range-topper for various Chevy utility models, so attaching it to the sixth-gen Chevy Camaro is definitely a break from the norm.
That said, there’s still quite a bit of appeal in the idea of an uber-luxurious muscle car like our Camaro High Country rendering. The front end provides an indication of the new luxury infusion with an upgraded fascia design incorporating polished trim across the grille, plus an illuminated Chevy Bow Tie badge.
Moving into the profile, we spot a set of chrome High Country wheels, the same rollers on offer for Chevy’s High Country utility models, while High Country badging was added to the fenders. This particular example is also a convertible, which fits well with the luxury theme.
The rear end shows us another High Country badge, while the twin rounded exhaust pipes present a polished finish as well. The rear badge shows us further polished trim for the surround. The droptop body style also gives us a look at the Gideon interior colorway, presenting a rich brown finish that’s sure to go well with the luxury theme. We also think it looks rather nice with the blue exterior.
Indeed, what if GM had actually built a luxurious Chevy Camaro High Country? Let us know your thoughts in the comments, and remember to subscribe to GM Authority for more Chevy Camaro news, Chevy news, and around-the-clock GM news coverage.

Love it. 3/4 Blackwing drop top!
All the boomers are going to love the chrome. Complain that GM didn’t build it.
facts lol
like putting lipstick on a pig
They couldn’t fill the orders they had.
No reason to think a new variant would have changed that.
What has happened to the “ Blazer” nameplate will happen to Camaro.
It appears that GM ONLY build what THEY want and vehicles they can get carbon or tax credits. FORGET building what the customers want. If they had so many unfilled orders of the Camaro as per reading into this site, then that would be proof of their Sales Mentality. Here in Oz, they stopped selling the Camaro a couple of years ago and offered the Silverado. The Silverado is a limited market here but you see the midsize truck sales of Hilux, Triton, Navarro, Ranger etc powering on yet they are not interested in selling the Colorado here that would give GM enthusiasts something to buy against the Crap Ranger. So much for Marketing Intelligence. Looks like we are to get Cadillacs here but ONLY ELECTRIC. We know they wont sell but only to a very very limited number of virtue signallers. SO SAD to see that gm dont look into and offer what customers REALLY WANT.
Looks like a chick with braces.
As the current fad of all black wheels looks like rolling around on junkyard spares?
Not liking black rims is life’s way of telling you that you are too old
*Shiny black “rims” are life’s way of telling me eveything I need to know about a person without them having to waste my time by even getting out of the car…
OMG!!!..WTH???…I Am So Sick And Tired Of Renderings…What Ifs…Maybes….Rumors BS!!!
Should have built the Buick Avista. Would have been a nice, luxury counterpoint to the Camaro…
It would have sold 4 units to 77 yr old white haired men wearing spread collars, with voluminous chest hair tangled in gold chains. 1 additional unit would go to an ad agency for use in ads for ED drugs. Someone would offer “berlinetta” badges in the aftermarket and the rest of us would mock it mercilessly for its profoundly negative impact on the already strained image of chevys once-iconic car. Also, gm would almost certainly package this trim with the “luxury” version of the 2.0l “Cadillac ” engine. With a snarling 238 hp, the Camaro HC would be right up there with the mustang II and other historic pony cars. This story really should have been saved for publication on 4/1/24.
Oh you nasty man Mr. Blunt. God
forbid you make it to 77.
Kris, I’m not sure I want to see 77 given the juggernaut of leftist BS marching us to an ICE-free future. Rwd, 300+hp, tasteful looks and a sonorous exhaust please. Manual transmission if it’s not too much to ask.
For car guys, the demise of the camaro is such a mixed emotion. Honestly it should have died long ago and been replaced with a better incarnation of the basic formula. Yet, its passing now, so far past its prime seems like both an overdue mercy and a sad end of a once great company’s effort to supply desirable and competitive fun cars.
So, while I won’t miss watching the camaro flail and struggle against its lesser but better competition, I do lament that we have nothing to look forward to in terms of exciting vehicles short of the unobtainable corvette. 77 seems too long to wait while suffering the woke new world of transportation appliances.
GM didn’t want to save the camaro. The c8 sold to go, so instead of using the the ls9 out of the 2019 Zr1 to compete with the others dodge and mustangs they left 650 under power camaro to defend for itself SAD GM! YOU KILLED A LEGENDARY CAR🇺🇸👮👎
2019 ZR1 had the LT5 engine. The LS9 was C6 Corvette ZR1.
Agreed, thank the new generation of leftists hired at GM. Masculinity is being replaced in favor of stupid.
The problem for Camaro was for the most part no inventory available to sell, and the poor sight lines out of the car.
I seriously considered one but could not see out of it to drive . It just would not be comfortable as a daily use vehicle.
Mate now your making excuses for yourself you obviously a useless driver thousands of people are driving them without a problem what did you end up buying a Fiat Bambino
Bud , No Need to be Nasty , it was for my wife and she said no , so I got her the chevy of her choice!
My driving speaks for itself , logged close to 100k every year for work and have been accident free for the past 30 years.
I appreciate the performance of the Camaro , but some of the visibility faults kept me from a sale.
I have had over 40 new Chevys in my lifetime , from 4 cylinders to powerful v8, from small cars to sedans , to SUVs and pickups.
Exactly. I am 6 ft and I couldn’t see a thing out of it. MY C5 corvette has much better line of sight out of it.
Whoever styled the steep windshield rake and small side windows doomed the car from day one. All wheel drive also would have helped for the northeast for a daily driver.
Not with that horrific front end design. They ruined the Camaro with the last front update.
Luxury? Yes. But the High Country name? No. It doesn’t fit the car. The name would have to have been something that has some racing prestige to it or some sort of racing tie to it..maybe like Podium Edition (going back to its Indy Pace Car heritage). Dodge made a Charger Daytona that had special bits to it.
They would of sold with the saddle interior and the chrome. High Country name plate not much help. Call it the Line Honors edition. I know everyone likes the V-8 (I do) but they should of offered the 3.6L twin turbo they used in the Cadillac V-Sport. 420HP, fast, and decent fuel economy (ours gets 20mpg running around and the wife has heavy foot). Today they could combine with hybrid motor and increase mileage and get 500hp.
GM needs to offer better interior color combination. If it is black I do not buy. No black dash, roof liner, carpet, seats, etc…
Soft top convertibles. Blue, red, gray, saddle, then black.
This could compete with the Mustang King Ranch
Ordered a 2024 zl1 convert on 7-8-23. Paid hefty deposit. Never received it. Why not fill the orders paid for and on hand?
Yours and mine both…….LT1, 6 speed in Nitro Yellow Metallic………….many others out there.
The luxury Camaro had a name…it was Berlinetta. How about reserving High Country to the trucks/SUVs?
Would have not done a thing. This was just not that type of car and the CT5 and 4 were there in a similar price range with the high level trim.
Also the High Country name was for a truck. Would you call a Mustang King Ranch?
GM did build it! It is called the Cadillac ATS coupe. Built on Camaro platform, but with real wood and leather in the interior.
Would have, could have, should have.
I wouldn’t waste my money on a High Country anything, no substance. I love the Camaro, own a 22 LT1! It’s a shame when the only updates are stripes and color changes. I owned a 2016 RS V6, 2018 1LE V6 (I should have kept), 2022 LT1 manual and my current LT1 auto. All great cars, the chassis was so much better than my 2012 SS. The 1LE V6 was truly the best overall. Sports cars need features, with the bad blind spots the Camaro sorely needed blindside warning as standard equipment on all Camaros, only fully loaded models had safety related features. A strategic error, hard to believe since most criticism was the difficulty of seeing out. GM puts the feature on almost everything, but the car that truly needs the feature. It’s not rocket science.
I am very sadden that Camaro is no longer . I’ve had a Camaro since 1967 and enjoyed every one . Unfortunately I’m now a single retired woman who can’t afford a new one . But boy a girl can dream
Looks just like another average Camaro to me sans the badging. The light around the grill is nice but the last update to the looks didn’t do a thing for it. Camaro was the poor man’s vette. These are priced too close to really make it affordable. Like said above, fill the orders you have! Advertise some and by ALL means, keep the V-8!
Sorry folks, GM is not run by people competent enough to even keep the Camaro offering must less a High Country version.
GM killed the Camaro and didn’t even try to give it a hp increase send-off. A tip of the hat to us performance enthusiasts would’ve been nice. But! GM is gonna virtue signal to the woke in charge. All I can say to that is, I hope it works out just as good as Bud Light did. Cheers!
Hi , I think the Camaro High Country would be well received , I like the grill and back , the interior would have to be high quality .. the motor stay with gas perhaps a 327 dressed up and nice tail pipes .. with great colors … Doug S.
I will be 76 years old in October. I would buy this car if it was still available. It’s a shame the American Auto Maker wants us here in these United States to buy foreign autos. I am fed up seeing Toyotas and Hondas on our roads. Tommy Yarborough
TOMMY, they actually want to SELL you a foreign vehicle. Except the enclave, every buick is made in China or Korea. Chevy’s Trax and trailblazer are Korean. Equinox and blazer are from Mexico. Pickups from Mexico or Canada (in addition to domestic manufacturing at flint and Fort Wayne). When gm says they are a global company, they mean it.
do not be stupid like Ford did calling the bun wagon a mustage leave the camaro a camaro ;
