Maybe a Camaro would bring along a platform that would be profitable for itself, the Solstice and the Sky.
The Firebird and Camaro coexisted for over 30 years, and they were the same thing but with different style. So why not a Camaro and a Solstice, which are totally different? Did Mazda ever think twice when they started selling the RX-8 along with the Miata? Granted they aren't as close in price, and the RX-8 doesn't have a drop-top. But you can still argue that for about the same amount of money, the RX-8 gives you a hell of a lot more. And, there are other makes (not companies) that offer small two-seat convertibles, along with larger 2+2 coupes...
Anyway... none of the insiders have bluntly stated that "The Camaro will not be shown at NAIAS." (please let my post not be the reason to do so) They have stated that there would be no concepts. Was the Aura a concept? Was the Ridgeline a concept? So, they have left the door open for near-production models...
I'm looking at this as a Camaro enthusiast, who knows when to be realistic. If I wasn't blind to the chance that there might not be a Camaro shown, then I would have booked a flight and hotel for NAIAS a long time ago. And at the same time, I feel like it would be a bummer if I didn't go to NAIAS and missed a Camaro showing.
Also, I don't appreciate those of you who don't care for the Camaro, but spend all your time making a mockery of these types of threads.
