Nope. Not gonna make any more after 2010. There will be 80,000 built at a profit per vehicle of about ~$5000, after an investment of around $800,000,000 for R&D, tooling, etc. Thus making the entire project worth -$400,000,000 for GM. This is part of their plan to lose more money.

Sorry for the sarcasm, I could be off on my numbers but doing a limited run of Camaro's makes absolutely no financial sense at all. Though it would increase the collectors value of the Camaro. I can't think of too many cars that were around for less than 3 model years before being canceled or redesigned.
