Overview
- GM’s plan, which surfaced Wednesday in reports citing suppliers and unnamed insiders, points to late‑2027 production for a 2028 model‑year Camaro return.
- The car is reported to use GM’s Alpha II rear‑drive platform, the same architecture that underpinned the last Camaro and Cadillac’s CT4 and CT5 sedans.
- Automotive News relayed a supplier’s estimate that Lansing Grand River would build about 60,000 to 70,000 CT5 and Camaro units a year, signaling a sizable volume target.
- Coverage indicates GM is favoring internal‑combustion powertrains over a full EV setup, and GM Authority says the reboot may deviate from expectations with a possible four‑door body.
- Suppliers say GM has requested quotes for parts for a new Buick sedan to be built alongside the next CT5 and the Camaro, a move that helps keep the plant busy and could broaden choices for buyers who want a practical performance car.
