According to a report from Automotive News, General Motors is planning to revive the Chevrolet Camaro nameplate and introduce a new Buick sedan. These vehicles will allegedly be built alongside the next-generation Cadillac CT5 at GM's Lansing Grand River assembly plant in Michigan.

Why it matters

The return of the Camaro would mark the pony car's resurrection after its production ended in 2023. The new Buick sedan would give the brand a much-needed four-door model to complement its SUV lineup. Both vehicles would share GM's updated Alpha 2 platform with the upcoming Cadillac CT5, indicating the automaker's commitment to its rear-wheel-drive architecture.

The details

The report states that the new Buick sedan and next-gen Camaro will be produced at the Lansing Grand River plant, which currently builds the Cadillac CT4 and CT5. With CT4 production set to end in June, the facility will have capacity for the additional models. The Camaro's return would likely utilize GM's new LS6 small-block V8, which outperforms the Ford Mustang's Coyote engine. Chevrolet's continued participation in NASCAR also suggests the need for a next-generation pony car.

  • GM filed a new trademark for the Chevrolet Camaro nameplate in 2025.
  • The final sixth-generation Camaro rolled off the assembly line on December 13, 2023.
  • The next-generation Cadillac CT5 is expected to debut around model year 2027.
