2016 Chevrolet Camaro: Smaller and Lighter? Look Out, Next-Gen Mustang

[mugencivic4dr]

Previewed by Chevrolet Code 130R Concept?

WHAT IT IS: The classic all-American four-seat performance coupe. A convertible is also a certainty. The sixth-generation model will draw inspiration from the Euro-styled second-gen Camaro RS (1970–1981).

WHY IT MATTERS: Today's model has thrived as a roomier, more affordable alternative to the Corvette, and as a source of pride to the haters of  Ford, Dodge, and imported rear-drive coupes.

PLATFORM: The Camaro moves to GM's Alpha component set (Cadillac ATS and other future GM models) to save significant weight and cost.

POWERTRAIN: Expect eight-, six-, and four-cylinder offerings, the last to fulfill rising mpg obligations while fighting a growing list of four-cylinder-equipped foes, including the SRT Barracuda, Subaru BRZ, Scion FR-S, Ford Mustang, and Hyundai Genesis Coupe.

COMPETITION: See above.

WHAT MIGHT GO WRONG: GM designers could misinterpret Camaro's thin sales lead over Mustang and neglect critically needed interior upgrades.

ESTIMATED ARRIVAL AND PRICE: Late 2015 as a 2016 model, with a base price in the mid-$20,000 range.

There were, I forgot about that...

It looks like it should be a Malibu coupe...

since it is the new GM platform they may offer it in the v6 twin turbo version from the Cadillac XTS??

Looks like those concept cars GM had at last years auto show in Cali. There was this red one, which was Camaro inspired and a white one, that was very reminiscent of the 9gen civic coupe.


Edit: the Concepts were the Chevy Code 130R and Chevy Tru 140s. The latter being my favorite of the 2

do you mean this one?


Its a rendering, all they did was made the Code 130R Concept a bit lower and sleeker.

i think the 4cyl is to compete with the fr-s/br-z and the genisis. i think its smart for GM to do this but at the same time the car needs to be a lot lighter in order to make a complete competitive car/camaro
