Endings are hard, even when you know they're coming. Such is the case with the Chevy Camaro as the sixth-generation driver's car has exited production. It's unclear what's next for the iconic nameplate, but all signs point to something drastically different from the Camaro we've known for more than half a century.

GM Authority wrote earlier this week that December 14 would be the Camaro's final day, and a General Motors spokesperson allegedly confirmed that to American Cars and Racing. I reached out myself and a GM rep told me the same, providing the following statement:

"Camaro is a passion product. It has developed a fan base across the world and has brought people into Chevrolet dealerships for generations. The sixth generation specifically represented athleticism and composure—exuding confidence on the road and dominance on the track."

...

While Chevy has made clear that there's no immediate successor lined up for the sixth-gen, "this is not the end of Camaro’s story." You can bet that whatever is next will be electrified, though it's unclear if the Bowtie brand will make it a hybrid or fully battery-powered. It's people's worst fear that it will be something with four doors, though the Dodge Charger was successfully revived as a sedan in 2006. Maybe GM could do it in a similar way that doesn't depart too far from the Camaro's ethos.
