Strong Rumor: 2016 Chevy Camaro Arrives At Dealerships Next Month

2016-camaro-production-1

GM has been doling out information about the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro in doses and drips though both official and unofficial channels. We’ve got horsepower specifications, weight ratings, and even option pricing and package details, painting the picture of a leaner and meaner Camaro. We still don’t have an official dealership delivery date, though that information may have just leaked as well.

2016-camaro-production-2The Lansing State Journal is reporting that the 2016 Camaro could arrive at dealerships as early as mid-November, just in time for Christmas shopping.

Not only does the 2016 Camaro ride on the new Alpha platform, but production has moved back home to the United States, specifically the Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant. The new Camaro is being built alongside the Cadillac ATS and CTS, adding 450 jobs and a second shift to the Grand River plant while GM shed 1,000 jobs at the Camaro’s old assembly plant in Oshawa, Canada.

More importantly, the Camaro finally returns to being a Made In America product, a true American muscle car if you will. Now offering an efficient and fun 2.0 liter turbo four-cylinder engine in addition to the standard V6 and 455 horsepower LT1 borrowed from the Corvette, the 2016 Camaro will have a wider appeal once it’s widely available. Meanwhile, the last of the Canadian-built 2015 Camaros will roll off the Oshawa assembly line on November 20th, around the same time as the 2016 Camaros arrive at dealerships.

It’s the end of a long road for the fifth-generation Camaro, which debuted during some of GM’s darkest days, only to become the vanguard in a new wave of American performance cars. It’s been a long, and not always smooth road, but as sad as we are to see it go, November can’t get here soon enough.
