The Village Hemorrhoid

I think the cancellation of the Camaro is a bad idea but they didn't ask for my opinion on this. I think they are now dragging 'the end' out further and further because a few of the decision makers might have pulled their heads out of their @sses. The Camaro has been a BIG winner for Chevrolet in the past and I loved most years of the model, especially the '69 of which I was an owner.

DETROIT – After nine strong model years in the market, with hundreds of thousands sold, the sixth generation Chevrolet Camaro will retire at the conclusion of model year 2024.The final sixth generation Camaros will come off the assembly line at the Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant in Michigan in January 2024.
The sixth generation ran for nine years, selling a healthy 72,705 units in its first full year on sale in 2016. Yet it was never able to reach the heights of the fifth generation, which crested the 80,000-unit mark in five different years, and sales dwindled to just 24,652 vehicles in 2022.
Chevrolet is retiring the sixth generation of its muscle car but assures enthusiasts that "this is not the end of Camaro's story."
A special Collector's Edition will arrive for the Camaro's final year, although Chevy has yet to provide details on what it includes. For now, we just have a shadowy teaser. The automaker did divulge that it will have "ties that date back to the development of the first generation Camaro in the 1960s" and referenced that Camaro's original codename, Panther. The package will be fitted to the RS and SS models, as well as a limited number of the ZL1 variant.
