Terry Rhadigan
from General Motors has said that contrary to belief, the
convertible version of the Camaro has not been cancelled. “The
convertible was never canceled. It was retimed. It will be the first
quarter of 2011 for the start of production,” said Rhadigan. GM’s
spokesman said that the company’s original plan included an electric
folding soft top for 2010.“We always thought it would be one year
after the coupe,” he said. “Instead we are going two.” It was said
that the drop-top will feature the same engine range as the coupe
variant.
It's been a long time coming, but Chevrolet's reborn ponycar coupe
debuted as a 2010 model. Convertibles were set to quickly follow,
but the latest word is they won't hit the market until the first
quarter of 2011. Plus buzz was starting to build for an ultra-performance
Z28 version, but the late word is it has been canceled. It would
have been a great nostalgia trip, but $4 gas and financial problems
at General Motors likely conspired against it. |
