C8 mid-engine corvette. GM loves their people.

Or, meaning that people saw this incredibly priced, super performing car for the deal it seems to be, and took advantage of Chevy's "Black Friday" pricing before GM came to their senses and priced it closer to where it belongs.

A next generation Camaro would have to be a similar paradigm shift to get this kind of sales interest, I'm afraid. Not sure that GM wants to risk that much R&D into two petrol sports cars at this stage. Seems a foolishly risky venture. 40,000 cars is not that huge in the overall scheme of things. They sold 35,000 C7's to North American markets alone, in the first year of production.

/\. I want this to be true...

...However, I sadly fear this is more accurate.

If there’s a next gen camaro, it’ll have to be hybrid to start with the preplanning done for it to go full electric a few years later on the same chassis. Even with platform sharing, its a big risk with cars losing popularity to cuvs. Can gm have two low volume “halo” sports cars and still make enough $$ to justify both? Even if the camaro would be profitable in the above scenario, it wouldn’t be more profitable than a cuv electric hybrid vehicle and gm has to allocate resources to maximize $$$. (And this is how a similar convo probably went at ford which led to the mustang electric cuv).
