This would be cheaper, sell better and be faster than the SS.

I like it! It would be just like the Challenger/Charger.

jariten1781 > Milky

Dodge already makes that.

Milky > Nibbles
03/31/2016 at 10:45

But maybe?

Milky > jariten1781
03/31/2016 at 10:46

I know and I like it, but its fat.

But what would they call it?

Isn’t that called a Cadillac ATS?

Whatever they make, enthusiasts need to line up and buy it, or they’ll never take us seriously again.

I’d rather have a 2 door charger.

Slant6 > Milky
03/31/2016 at 10:52

Ooh. Make a police version.

Camero Extra Butt Edition.

What you did there, I see it.

Milky > cletus44 aka Clayton Seams
03/31/2016 at 10:54

Yea, but not with a 460hp V8 for under $40k.

Nibbles > Milky
03/31/2016 at 10:55

But no.

Milky > Steve in Manhattan
03/31/2016 at 10:55

Oh so you mean not like the SS. Having its best year ever, with under 3,000 sales.

cletus44 aka Clayton Seams > Milky
03/31/2016 at 11:02

Can you get 460 hp in a Camaro under $40k? Im astounded.

Jayhawk Jake > Milky
03/31/2016 at 11:04

By what logic would this be cheaper or faster or sell better?

Jayhawk Jake > cletus44 aka Clayton Seams
03/31/2016 at 11:04

Yeah, the SS starts at $38k

DoYouEvenShift > Milky
03/31/2016 at 11:06

Supposedly its in the works. Chevy 4 door alpha based performance sedan to replace the SS.

BigBlock440 > Milky
03/31/2016 at 11:07

Ooh, a new Chevelle.

LongbowMkII > Milky
03/31/2016 at 11:08

Once again, the SS is only here to satisfy the Austrailian government and buy off Holden. It is NOT a volume seller, it was never portrayed to be a volume seller it is and there is NO business case for a 4 door camaro. 0. Much less the development costs of designing and testing one. That camaro just became 50k. Sell better, yeah maybe 10,000 a year. Woooooo!

That being said, when did the SS become ‘not fast enough’?

Milky > cletus44 aka Clayton Seams
03/31/2016 at 11:08

Actually I lied, its 455hp. But as Jayhawk said yea you can (actually more expensive then the other V8 pony cars).

You must not be ‘Murican.

Milky > Slant6
03/31/2016 at 11:09

I do wonder what they’ll do when the Caprice/SS/Comodore finally stop production. Go back to Impalas?

Adding two doors should add less than $7k to the price, and less than 400lbs. Plus it would have more power. And it couldn’t sell worse.

Steve in Manhattan > Milky
03/31/2016 at 11:14

I’d like to think I’d put my money where my mouth is if I needed a car (and not just because I have a relative at GM) - go in and buy an SS at sticker to show GM that yes, we enthusiasts will buy it if you make it. Bought a ‘97 SHO at a bit off sticker price, bought a ‘91 CRX Si at full sticker. I’m the guy who buys the performance version of whatever the car is ... but I can’t justify a car living where I live now.

Milky > LongbowMkII
03/31/2016 at 11:22

But Dodge sells a boat load of Chargers. And to answer your last question when every other fast GM car is faster?

Milky > Nibbles
03/31/2016 at 11:22

I know, you’re right.

Nibbles > Milky
03/31/2016 at 11:24

Damn right I’m right.

Milky > Steve in Manhattan
03/31/2016 at 11:26

But sadly there’s not enough people like you. To be honest I’m one of those bad people. Can finally afford a new car and I’ll probably buy used still.

Where have all the lightweights gone? > Milky
03/31/2016 at 11:27

Looks like there is potentially a replacement in the works !

LongbowMkII > Milky
03/31/2016 at 11:31

They sell a boat load of cheap chargers because they are old, built in NA and have cheap options. The hemi charger only compares in a straight line which is fine if that’s what you’re into.

So only slower than the vette, camaro SS (and future fast variants), and the caddy V cars.

I think they’re ok with that.

LongbowMkII > Milky
03/31/2016 at 11:31

Tahoes.

LongbowMkII > Milky
03/31/2016 at 11:33

They can do it for $3.50.

Steve in Manhattan > Milky
03/31/2016 at 11:38

Yeah, but you’ll be that guy later, buying a 2020 sports whatever from the company that makes what you want. Shit - I bought a few cars used, but mostly new: ‘88 Camry wagon 5M, ‘87 300D, ‘87 Toyota pickup longbed 4x4, the CRX, the SHO, and a Buick that I don’t like to talk about. You’ll get there, and you’ll get what you want. Maybe even the gearhead dream - order precisely what you want and they’ll make it. So there.

Milky > LongbowMkII
03/31/2016 at 11:43

I’m not saying the Charger is better. I like it, but it is old and fat. I was also assuming for the renderings sake, that a 4 door Camaro would come with the full range of engines. So there’d be “cheap options”.

Obviously Chevy isnt going to do it, but I think visually and ideologically a 4 door Camaro is 10X better than the SS. IMHO that ‘shop is nice.

Jayhawk Jake > Milky
03/31/2016 at 11:44

I don’t understand any of your logic.

If adding two doors adds $7k to the price, it’s more expensive. Adding doors doesn’t add power.

Milky > LongbowMkII
03/31/2016 at 11:46

They almost have to offer a car too though.

Milky > Jayhawk Jake
03/31/2016 at 11:50

Sorry my wording was shit. “Should add less than” meaning a sedan option isn’t $7k more. And I meant more power vs the SS. Its still rocking the 415hp LS motor, not a 455hp LT1.

LongbowMkII > Milky
03/31/2016 at 11:55

It is, but I think it’d need to be stretched to fit a human back there (based on pony car stereotypes) plus SO MUCH PURIST ANGER.

... I take it back, I'm on board. Camaro sedan forever!

The rear drive V8 sedan is dead. I hate to admit it, but it’s true. People that buy a full size sedan dont care about performance.

FCA sells the hell out of the LX platform because of marketing. They have done an awesome job marketing to the middle age bros, thats fine its a niche that needed filled. Also in FCA defense the gen 2, and 3 LXs are very nice cars. No apologies for the 1st Gen. Also I’m positive no one is buying 2nd and 3rs gen super bees and SRTs to run with Miatas on track days. It was never meant to be that kind of car.
