Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Delayed
July24


With all the news (and hype) surrounding the 2010 Chevy Camaro, we’ll keep this one short and to the point: if you’re determined to drive a Camaro with the top down, you’re going to have to wait a little longer than you first thought. Word has come down that the drop-top Chevy has suffered a delay.


Originally, the convertible model was set to go into production at the Oshawa, Ontario plant during the second week in December, 2009. Now we hear that date has been pushed back as much as six months. This would likely make it a 2011 model year vehicle.

No reason for the delay has surfaced yet, but GM has run into a problem or two with their recent launches of convertible models.

Quite honestly this delay isn’t all bad. It will assure the vert goes on sale with sun, not snow, in the sky.

GM themselves have been saying "Summer 2010" since Monday.

 

DAMMIT! I don't want to wait until Summer 2010!!!! I may settle for a SS coupe with a sunroof, and then cry a year later when I see the convertible.

 

I'm seriously thinking of buying a V6 RS at launch and then upgrading to either an SS convertible or Z28. (Otherwise I'm definitely waiting until HUD is available before buying a V8.)

 

I'm going to have to jump through hoops to get the wife to let me buy one as it is, so whatever is cheaper will probably be my best bet. And I'm sure the convertible will be 5 grand more.

 

when I saw the thread, my first thought was "welcome to Monday" too

 

I believe the point of the story was, up until Monday, the convertible had been set to go into production in Dec '09. Now it's been pushed back.

 

Ungood.

Ouch.

Well it DOES make more sense to me to introduce a convertible in the spring or summer than in the dead of winter.

 

Nothing wrong with being able to buy a convertible in the "dead of winter"!

 

Crazy *** Canucks!

 

Waitasec..

So I'm going to have to wait a year and a half longer to buy a convertible?!?

NOT

HAPPY

 

Art, you are nuts.

 

convertibles ruin the looks of most cars, for me it's no different with the new camaro. Though that looks good in that picture above at that angle.

 

My A.D.D can not tolerate anymore GM incompetance.
Thank you for stringing me out for 7 years and now you can officially GFYSs.
Cheers, maybe Ill change my mind tomorrow.
