I really can't see how that is a win for GM to have a new platform competing neck and neck with a soon to be 10 year old one.
I agree 100%. As I stated previously, the 6th Gen just isn't delivering the goods. IMHO, people that wanted a Camaro, went out and bought a 5th Gen and are very pleased with the car. They see no reason to shell out money for the new platform, especially when the price skyrocketed like it has. Heck, when I bought my car brand new, the sticker was ~$44k. For a 2017 2SS convertible, the prices are north of $50k...some closer to $55k! That'll turn a lot of people off. Who knows.
