2011 Camaro Convertible officially confirmed for 2nd Quarter 2011 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

As reported on homepage.

Although we didn't get to see a production Camaro convertible at this morning's GM live webcast as we had hoped, GM has in the follow-up session officially confirmed that the production of the 2011 Camaro convertible will begin in the second quarter of 2011! This is slightly later than the previously estimated Q1 production date, but we'll take it!

This confirmation and announcement by GM comes to us via the special GM press conference/event held this morning in Detroit, the first part of which was a live webcast which focused mostly on the upcoming Chevrolet Volt.

texasbill · 08-11-2009, 10:03 AM

YES!

FenwickHockey65 · 08-11-2009, 10:08 AM

And there you go.

Vuron00 · 08-11-2009, 10:10 AM

If the production begins 2Q11, when will they begin accepting orders?

01pewterz28 · 08-11-2009, 10:20 AM

Cool beans I can pay off the Suburban and then order my Vert

Hoddi · 08-11-2009, 10:51 AM

I'm

for the ones who have been waiting for this

fireresq157 · 08-11-2009, 10:59 AM

I may be wrong but is that roughly 2 years from now? Then a similar wait time or delay that you had for the coup, were looking at 2 to 2 1/2 years and their is nothing that says that they won't delay it more. I for one am glad i dint wait. I'll guess I'll get the vert when the car is redesigned 5 or so years from now. At the very least we should have some spy photos of he redesigned vert before they stop making this version and will be able to choose what we like more.

1320junkie · 08-11-2009, 11:02 AM

Wow that's awesome

RedJewel2SS · 08-11-2009, 11:10 AM

Would be nice if they made it a hardtop convertible!!!

gregmdusa · 08-11-2009, 11:18 AM

Sorry little off topic....

If the vert is coming out in q2 '11, when will we see the 2011 coupe?

Nova65 · 08-11-2009, 11:19 AM

so much for the $16,000 modification work that would turn a hard top in to a convertable.

This is just an assumption, but I don't think there will be many changes to the current camaro between here and then.

kayajay10 · 08-11-2009, 11:22 AM

I think I'm gonna need another job... I gotta have the vert too!

Unfair · 08-11-2009, 11:23 AM

Nice i always favored the drop top

oh btw don't pre-order lol

stovt001 · 08-11-2009, 11:27 AM

There's the GM we all know and love. Got a hot product on your hands? Delay, delay, and when you think you've delay it enough, delay it a couple more times, just to make sure.

Steeler NY · 08-11-2009, 11:33 AM

THATS GREAT NEWS

for all of us waiting for the Convertible!!!!

THANKS GM

I cant wait to order!!!!

Rygain · 08-11-2009, 11:40 AM

Nice news, but 2011, that's so far :(

O2BQIK · 08-11-2009, 11:41 AM

Hard to believe it will take another 2 years almost! Any chance there was a typo and production begins Q2 2010?? It seems very late in the model year run...Q2 2011 to start building cars for 2011 model year?

Revo1 · 08-11-2009, 11:45 AM

Wish it was better looking....

Lil'BlueCoupe · 08-11-2009, 11:46 AM

I will wait 'cause.........I for sure am getting it!
