The Chevrolet Camaro, after enjoying two generations and achieving nearly a million sales in the U.S. alone between 2009 and 2023, has reached the end of its latest era. On November 22, the final sixth-gen Camaro convertible rolled out from the Lansing Grand River plant, flexing its fabric roof.
Then, on December 14, the last Camaro coupe bid farewell to the assembly facility, without any formal send-off from the automaker. Chevy confirmed these details to Road & Track, issuing a prepared statement that emphasized the Camaro’s status as a passion product with a dedicated global fan base.
The sixth generation, in particular, was praised for its athleticism and composure, embodying confidence on the road and dominance on the track. This milestone occurred about a month earlier than expected.
When GM announced the end of Camaro production in March, it had initially projected the final sixth generation to roll off the assembly line at the Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant in Michigan in January 2024.
Reflecting on the Camaro’s history, the last hiatus occurred with the demise of the fourth-gen in 2002, and fans had to wait seven years for the pony car’s return.
Regarding the duration of this current break, GM has assured enthusiasts that the Camaro’s story is far from over. Global Chevrolet vice president Scott Bell emphasized in the March declaration that while an immediate successor isn’t being announced, the Camaro will persist.
Speculation suggests that a potential seventh-gen Camaro could be built on an Ultium platform and powered by batteries. As long as there’s a variant with two doors, fans remain hopeful.
In the interim, Chevrolet has mentioned the possibility of the Camaro’s presence in racing series such as NASCAR, IMSA, SRO, NHRA, and the Australian Supercars Championship.
For those seeking a personal farewell, the Camaro configurator remains accessible for nostalgic browsing. Additionally, the $14,995 Camaro Collector’s Edition Package is still available, albeit at a steep price of $90,000, serving as a reminder of the iconic model’s final iteration, at least for the time being.
