Default 2026 Camaro

Man, if these renderings and info are correct, it's super disappointing - at least to me, anyway.

Are those GM drawings, or someone on the www ??
WAY too early to speculate on what this will look like. A Camaro based SUV MAY not look too bad and be a hit with the people wanting more cargo space.

Yeah who did those renderings?

I think evolving the Camaro into a small SUV will alienate the core customers, that's too much change.

I don't know what sort of strategy discussions the GM folks have around sales volume, but the Camaro will stay niche until it has a more usable back seat. I think one of the appeals of the Challenger and Charger has been the seating.

Who cares what customers want. Certainly not todays car designers or the car companies. Azteks instantly come to mind.

Because it has to fit on the same battery pack arrangement as the rest of the GM EV's.

It s just a name and a body shape used on the same platform.

I would be surprised if any of those are GM renderings.

Exactly, just like the "renderings" of butt ugly Chevelles coming back a few years ago.

Legit renderings or not I have a feeling the next decade in auto design will be overall disappointing as the government attempts more and more mandates..
