Rumors are swirling that the iconic Chevrolet Camaro muscle car could be making a return, with reports indicating the next-generation model may share a platform with an upcoming Buick sedan and the redesigned Cadillac CT5. While details are still scarce, industry sources suggest production of the new Camaro could begin in 2027, with the car going on sale as a 2028 model.

Why it matters

The Camaro has long been a staple of Chevrolet's lineup, with a devoted fanbase. Its potential return would be welcome news for enthusiasts, though the platform-sharing arrangement suggests the new model may not be exactly what Camaro fans are expecting.

The details

According to reports from GM Authority and Automotive News, the new Camaro will be built on GM's Alpha 2 platform, which is designed for mid-size vehicles with longitudinally mounted front engines and rear-wheel drive. This platform previously underpinned the 2013 Cadillac ATS, 2014 Cadillac CTS, and 2016 Chevrolet Camaro. In addition to the Camaro, the Alpha 2 platform will also be used for a new Buick sedan as well as the next-generation Cadillac CT5.

  • Production of the new Camaro is expected to begin in 2027.
  • The 2028 model year is when the revived Camaro is slated to go on sale.
