GM has just approved the 7th gen Camaro, so it looks like the pony car war is back on.

Interesting....hopefully they can keep it as light or lighter than the 6th generation Camaro

Will it get the new 6.7 V8? Will they hobble it with a DI system that doesn't have PI alongside of it? Will they put a decent piston in it?

Yup, I think it’s supposed to get that new motor

glad to hear it! This will make Ford get innovative with Mustang again

Excited for this. Really loved my Camaro LT1 (cheapest trim with the V8). Now on my 3rd S650 Mustang, they just don't handle as well and predictably as the 6th gen Camaros. Even the 4cylinder Camaros were super tossable and balanced, and the V6s had amazing high-RPM howl.

This is what I’m hoping. Would be crazy if they came out the gate with a lighter car for a decent price.

Quite a few of the linked stories mention that it's not what we think it might be. Maybe even a four-door. I bought a brand new 2010 Camaro RS with a manual, it was the second worst car I've EVER owned. GM quality still doesn't come close to what you get from Ford.

Was there even a pony car war against the 6th gen? I believe it was one sided...

I'm curiously excited about this, mainly to see if it'll retain its driving dynamics but in return gain much improved outward visibility.

My sources tell me the new Camaro will be a 4 door sedan type, and 2 door Coupe, and hybrid. Another good sources tells me Camaro just might end up like the Ford Mustang Mach 1. They ONLY announced seventh generation chassis and body will be shared with Buick and Cadillac, so this appears more of a 4 door hybrid. Lets all wait and see, as the Camaro of old is history.

Yea.... 4 door? Hybrid? EV? AWD? SUV?

Performance wise they were about equal, Mustang outsold Camaro about 2:1 the last four years

The article I read
https://carbuzz.com/chevrolet-camaro-return-buick-sport-sedan/
indicates that it would on the alpha platform, which is the same platform the previous Camaro was on. This does not mean a return to the old design, but it means that it COULD be a 2 door "pony" car, just as much as it might be a 2 door sedan.

That said, it also stated that a Buick sedan was possible as well. While I know the blackwing will remain top dog for any sedans out there, it's possible we might also see the return of the Regal and the Regal Grand National, but I am fairly sure the Buick would not be a coupe and only be available in sedan form

Even if it's not competing against the M5 with the blackwing engine, a 420 hp Naturally Aspirated V8 as a top dog for the GN or GNX, with a 4/4-hybrid/6/6-hybrid might be interesting.

That said, what would that mean for the rumored Mach 4?

A coupe that as a hatch C7 like trunk design could be a good option. Keep the coupe styling but have practicality which was the 6th gen issue.

For the past three years Buick has talked about bringing back the Gran Sport, GS. In 2020 they actually had a proto built, but Buick Execs pushed for the Envision and expending to all SUV line. The Buick LaCross was a huge failure especially after they had a catastrophic failure of their front suspension system failures (Used a BMW design, but did not make provisions for the heavier Buick motor, resulting in a large number of law suites and customer issues. Buick still not sold on cars but would like to stick to SUVs as they are a money maker. Caddy will welcome a performance car as they have a large Factory Race Program, and wants to get away from the electric line of SUVs, and fill in the line with a luxury sports car. GM is a total mess now because of going WOKE, not a political debate it was and is what it is. Corvette still fighting to be a separate nameplate and go on its own. Corvette still in planning stage of a Corvette SUV, but that just might be your new Camaro....
