Chevrolet is allegedly bringing back the dearly departed Camaro before the end of the decade, giving Bow Tie fans a second performance car to get excited about. A report in Automotive News today cited a source at a major General Motors supplier, who told the outlet that the redesigned Cadillac CT5 – which was thought to go all-electric until recently – will spawn additional vehicles at both Chevrolet and Buick. That means that the automaking giant will bring three rear-drive, performance-oriented, gas-powered vehicles to market in the next few years. A Second Resurrection For The Camaro The supplier source told Automotive News that the new Cadillac CT5, which is expected to enter production in 2027, will donate its platform to both the Camaro and the as-yet-unnamed Buick four-door. We presume the cars will retain a version of the GM Alpha platform found under the current CT4 and CT5. Alpha debuted in 2013 under the Cadillac ATS, then spread to the CTS in 2014 and the Chevrolet Camaro in 2016. Even though it's more than a decade old at this point, the stiff and light architecture gives its current products commendable handling and performance, especially in V-Series Blackwing form.ChevroletIf the source is telling the truth, a 2027 debut for the Camaro seems likely, which would mark the second time that Chevrolet has brought its muscle car back from the dead. Introduced in 1967 to do battle with the Ford Mustang, the Camaro saw four generations before being discontinued in 2002 due to slow sales. The pony car returned for the 2010 model year, with two generations passing before it got axed yet again in 2024 amid continuously rising demand for crossovers.The new Camaro would arrive to give the Mustang some much-needed competition. Today's muscle car market is largely dominated by the Blue Oval, with the Dodge Challenger proving a bit too unpopular with buyers to be truly relevant. Plan on the Camaro boasting rear-wheel drive, as well as a version of the 2027 Corvette's 6.7-liter V8 making around 500 horsepower in SS spec. We hope Chevrolet will bring back the supercharged ZL1 and the race-ready Z/28, which would show down against the Mustang Dark Horse S/C and Mustang GTD, respectively.Mecum Auctions Putting The Factory To Good Use The 2026 Cadillac CT4 and CT5 are produced at the Lansing Grand River assembly plant in Lansing, Michigan, but when the CT4 ends production in June, the facility will only produce one vehicle. In order to ensure GM's production capacity is being wisely used, the automaker will amortize both the development costs of the new Caddy sedan and the retooling costs of its factory across an additional two products. In fact, one reason for the Buick's existence, according to Automotive News reporting, is because a CT5 and a Camaro alone wouldn't take up enough manufacturing capacity.Bring A TrailerSpeaking of Buick, the rear-drive–biased sedan will be the company's first such vehicle in more than 30 years. Although it has offered rear-drive SUVs in the intervening years, the last true car that sent its power to the back was the 1996 Roadmaster Limited sedan and Roadmaster Estate wagon. In fact, the automaker hasn't offered anything resembling a sporty car since the Regal was discontinued in 2020. These days, Buick's lineup is entirely crossover-shaped, with four unibody, front-drive–biased SUVs occupying its showrooms.A rear-drive (or all-wheel-drive) sedan would help the company hark back to some of its greatest vehicles, ranging from the Wildcat and GSX of the '60s and '70s to the sinister Grand National and GNX of the 1980s. We've got our fingers crossed for the Buick sports sedan to offer a turbo- or supercharged V6 and a honking V8, although a manual transmission is probably too much to ask for.
