2011 Chevrolet Camaro
It was reported by the newly formed Detroit Bureau that although the Chevrolet Camaro began production there are some glitches with plans for a future model that could result either in a significant delay or a cancellation of two of the highly-awaited Camaros. The Camaro Convertible and the Z28 are both in danger as GM tightens its financial belt.TDB says that keeping the Convertible is a priority since the German supplier responsible for providing the convertible top is also in a financial fix.
The General is trying to look for a replacement supplier but it will take no less than 6 months which means that the model will most probably miss out onthe prime selling seasons, spring and summer, for 2010.
With regards to the Z28, the culprit is GM's own costs with about $50 million while the model sits. So, what's it going to be for the Z28? It can either reach markets with a prohibitive price tag or it can come with some kind of creative engineering, which is most unlikely, if it can even be saved at all. If these are all true, then you might as well just get another model.
