There is still a market for muscle cars in the U.S. and GM did a poor job of capturing it.


A small and shrinking market.

The Challenger is going out of production soon as well.

In my specific case, my travel patterns are such that I really can’t do EVs, as I have to make custody exchanges and drive to the other end of the state to take care of relatives.


Time is already a premium so I don’t have time to dick around with trying to find a charging station in speed trap country like Sicily Island and Wisner.


Teke, I believe thats the number one reason EVs have not taken over. Heck my wife is paranoid as hell if the tank gets below half full.

The ones touting the EV mantra live 10 minutes from work and never consider the vast majority of people dont.

Its the same people who scream about recycling.....yet wont even take their grocery cart back to the front of the store after loading their car

Why the hell would you end the Camaro. You cant drive 5 feet and not see one. Be like Jeep getting rid of the Wrangler.

Some people are just that dumb, I guess.

They're slowing down their robotaxi program that accounts for the bulk of the layoffs

GM is a shite company that covered up an incident involving one of their robotaxis in October. It sucks for the workers but this has nothing to do with the overall health of the economy.


Those were separate layoffs. Over 2,000 there. This thread has nothing to do with the robotaxi ops.

So demand is down. Why?
People don't have the money?
Prices are too high?
People don't like the product because of the robotaxi?
People are worried they won't have the money? .
Chevy is under pressure to get rid of ICE vehicles?

I have a hard time believing people don't like Camaro's because of an automated product. The others seem plausible.

General Motors (GM) disclosed plans to lay off 1,300 workers from two Michigan plants as it ends production of the iconic Chevrolet Camaro

That's going to hit more than just Michigan. The Chevy factory in Bowling Green, KY, focused on Camaro production.

ETA: I'm dumb and was thinking of the corvette not the camaro so ignore this post.
