The all-new Chevrolet Camaro is reportedly delayed, with its debut now expected for the 2029 model year instead of 2028.
Sources close to GM suggest the pony car will arrive later than initially rumored.

According to GM Authority, the Camaro will ride on GM's Alpha 2 platform, shared with the next Cadillac CT5 and a new Buick sedan.
Production is said to return to Lansing Grand River in Michigan, where the sixth-generation model was built.
Despite the delay, the Camaro is expected to retain its rear-wheel-drive layout, internal combustion engines, and even a manual transmission.
This news is exciting for enthusiasts, as three-pedal options are becoming rare.
The report also hints at a possible four-door body style for the first time in Camaro history.

While this would have been unthinkable years ago, it now makes business sense, similar to the upcoming four-door Mustang and the Dodge Charger's availability in both body styles.
Chevrolet may offer four-cylinder engines in base models, with a new range of GM's sixth-generation V8s for performance buyers.
The Corvette recently received a new 6.7-liter V8, and the Camaro could offer a manual gearbox with its V8, unlike the Corvette's dual-clutch only setup.
The Camaro nameplate was discontinued after the 2024 model year, so a 2029 debut would mean a four-year hiatus.
