If this is true? This means the sports car market is very much alive and people been waiting for something like this...
Meaning, I think theres room for a camaro 7 if they go routes that I've mentioned before. Which was making a corvette style 4 seat camaro with dimensions similar to the camaro 3 but performance like a c7 GS for about 50k.
It could he done. It's up to Chevy though.

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.

...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).
