Chevrolet Camaros & Concept
.
A new Camaro will be reborn in 2007, but getting there won't be easy.
On August 29, 2002, a bright red Chevrolet Camaro Z28 rolled down the assembly line at General Motor's Ste. Therese plant outside Montreal, Quebec, ending 35 years of automotive history. When this car rolled off the assembly line, GM handed the pony car market over to its archrival, the Ford Mustang. Since that time, not only has Ford had the pony car market to itself, almost as if to spit on the grave of GM's F-bodies, Ford displayed a concept version of the next new Mustang a matter of months later.
From the time the Camaro and Firebird were introduced in September 1966, they developed a cult following. While GM's F-body had its ups and downs, it became a mainstay at Chevrolet and Pontiac showrooms. Over the years it was everything from a limited-production big-block muscle car to an underpowered 4-cylinder economy car, much like the vehicle GM's F-bodies were a response to, the Ford Mustang. With that kind of history, it almost seems unthinkable GM would discontinue it, yet they did.

Being a Camaro lover and past owner of (2),
I was pretty pissed when GM decided to stop making my beloved
F-body! But it looks as though GM has realized their mistake, and
rumor has it, we might see a Camaro comeback by 2007!
Now GM will call it the “F-Car” and I have also read that it will
feature the new LS2 engine. GM usually detuned the F-Body so as not
to compete with corvette sales, but I have read that in ‘07 this
will not be the case. For all you Firebird lovers out there, you
will only see the Camaro first, and if it takes off, you will
see the Trans-Am follow. Any one that loves me, please start sending
me money, so I can buy one the day they hit dealer showrooms lol.

Camaro Convertible Concept
The Chevrolet Camaro concept was the celebrated star of the 2006 auto show season. You can only top that by literally and figuratively blowing the top off. That’s exactly what GM’s designers and engineers did to create the Camaro convertible concept. The introduction of the Camaro convertible concept was on the eve of the North American International Auto Show at GM Style, an exclusive, fashion-splashed event combining celebrities, couture and automobiles.
The Camaro convertible concept, wrapped in Hugger Orange pearl tri-coat paint with twin gunmetal gray sport stripes, is based on the original Camaro concept, with only minor changes required to accommodate the convertible body style.
“The best follow-up to last year’s award-winning Camaro concept is a Camaro convertible,” said Ed Welburn, GM vice president, global design. “The Camaro convertible concept instantly evokes an emotional response – it’s a vehicle that you want to make room for in your garage.”
