The car company says the sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro will be phased out by January 2024. Chevy will make a Collector’s Edition for its last model year, but this information about the package has yet to be released. Chevy says the name “Camaro” will stay, and a new name will be announced later. Chevy said today that the sixth-generation Camaro will be made for the last time after the 2024 model year. In January 2019, the previous muscle car versions should leave the Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant. Chevy says that even though there isn’t a straightforward replacement, “this is not the end of the Camaro’s story.” In 2016, the first full year of sales for the sixth generation, 72,705 units were sold. But sales dropped to 24,652 cars in 2022, and they never got back up to the levels of the fifth generation, which sold more than 80,000 cars in five different years. A special Collector’s Edition will be made for the last year of the Camaro, but Chevy hasn’t said what it will include yet. We only have a weird hint for now. The company said it will have “connections that trace back to the creation of the first generation Camaro in the 1960s.” Panther was the first codename for the first-generation Camaro. The package will be put on the RS, SS, and ZL1 versions. Since the Dodge Challenger will no longer be made after 2023, the only American muscle car left is the Ford Mustang. But Dodge has promised an electric rival based on the Charger Daytona SRT concept, and we expect anything Chevy makes to replace the Camaro badge to be electric in some way. Things are changing a lot in the world of muscle cars.
