one for the road chevrolet camaro officially says goodbye

We've known for a while that the sixth-generation Chevrolet Camaro is on the way to the great junkyard in the sky. Now Chevy has officially announced the send-off.

The final sixth-gen Camaros will roll off the assembly line at Lansing Grand River Assembly in January 2024.

A Collector's Edition will be available on 2024 RS and SS models and on some ZL1 units. More details on what that edition will offer are set to be announced later, though Chevy does say it will have details that harken back to the first-gen car and its internal code name of Panther.

Race fans shouldn't fret -- Chevrolet plans to keep the Camaro involved in its racing efforts. There are no further details on that -- we'll guess that specifics might depend on the series. We do think that the body style will continue to drape NASCAR stockers.

Finally, Chevy says that this is NOT the end of the run for the nameplate. Whether that means a successor is planned -- perhaps EV or electrified -- or the name will be cynically slapped on some crossover trim level, we shall see. Let's hope for the former over the latter.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

No Chevy SS, No Camaro, No Monte Carlo, hell, no Lumina. Behold the 2024 Hendricks Chevy Suburban stock car.

The Camaro always had to contend with the Corvette. Up until the mid-engine Corvette, bother were just muscle cars occupying the same niche.

The demise of the Challenger and Camaro will be great news for Ford and the Mustang. Once again they are the last domestic Muscle car standing.

Paul I don't know how GM can fail to sell sedans. Other manufacturers seem to be able to, as others have noted. The Impala (which I've had as a rental) was a very nice sedan and the Malibu (which I had as a rental more recently) was a pleasant, competent vehicle also. Maybe they are still suffering from the bad rep they got in the malaise era into the 80s.
Kwik_Shift_Pro4X How a Versa that's a $18000 car became a $24000 car says a lot. Or even the jacked price of the current Frontiers. Not worth it.
MaintenanceCosts They should focus on major non-Interstate routes in the flat West. I recently did a central Texas trip with a Model S rental. It was just fine along the interstates but there were significant gaps on the big federal highways, which caused a bit of extra driving to reach charging stations. The one public (non-"customers only") charger in the greater Fredericksburg area was very busy, even at non-peak times.
Tassos Real Cars are RWD.So if you want a Lexus, try either the GS, or the flagship LS460 (before they mutilated it into the current failed model)The ES used to be a rebadged Camry, then became a rebadged Avalon at $10k more. Not a wise buy, unless you are a silly snob and would not be caught dead driving an econobox.
