Camaro supply can’t match demand

June 29, 2009 by Matt Brogan  




Despite GM’s financial troubles it seems to have a hit on its hands when it comes to the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro with strong demand severely outstripping supply.

2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS

After taking more than 10,000 pre-orders, GM is struggling to fill the 25,000 dealer back-orders that have so far been recorded with only 5463 units having been delivered.

The waiting list on a new Camaro in the US is now in excess of four months.

    Good to see something going right for GM in the US.

    And it is the aussies who did the development and engineering work on a car the americans actually want. Kudos to Holden.

  2. Vid_Ghost says:

    Really? Holden designed a car they dont sell here as a Holden? Kinda like how Dawoo designed a car Holden does sell here as holdens. They should start selling the cars they design lol would be a good idea… Love the look of this car.. Transformers anyone!

  3. UR far too snobby Alex says:

    When I win Tuesdays’ Lotto I am going to order 2 of these dream machines.

  4. Wheelnut says:

    This is why I think that Holden should have been able to build not only the Camaro but also the Insignia here instead of the Cruze

    The Cruze is already being built in 4-5 other factories around the world whereas tha Camaro is being built in one factory in Canada and the Insigina is being built in just one factory in Europe.
    Therefore; if Holden was building the Camaro or Insignia here they would be able to help meet the demand for the cars in both the USA and/or Europe then sold any excess here as a Monaro or Torana

  5. Shak says:

    why stop at two id buy a fleet. one each colour with each interior combo. This is probably Holdens most successful design and they dont even use it.

  6. UR far too snobby Alex says:

    Wheelnut, go away please, if it is you.
    It has been great not having to put up with your inane ramblings.
    If you want to make stuff up go and write a kids book.
    GO AWAY
    Hey Shak,ok I agree with you about buying a fleet, good point.

  12. Hemi Head says:

  15. Spanner says:

  16. Station Wagon says:

    What a bunch of whingers.

  17. DesignEng says:

    Welcome back Wheelnut.
    How many of those whingers above are actually unique visitors and how many are all the same pathetic individual?

  18. RoFlmaTiC says:

    Judging by the time of the postings it looks like it’s all the same person…

  19. Slick Shift says:

    Camaro………a wanna-be Mustang. Has never had and will never have the street cred and legend of a Mustang. This new styling is nowhere as good as the new ’stang…….nice try but not up to it. another second rate car from the bankrupt losers at GM.

  20. G6ETURBO says:

    Saw one in red yesterday..very nice but it wasn’t a V8..
    Something with a supercharger..

  21. Harley Stone says:

    They’re asking 55.000 Euros for the “SS” ova here…..

  22. Richo says:

    I see it’s school holidays again…

  23. Bavarian Missile( . ) ( . ) says:

    Wheelnut, please go and stay away.

  24. Bavarian Missile™ says:

    Absolutely Richo

  25. Wheelnut™ says:

    If GM are going to make a limited run of 100 Camaros in RHD for the UK why can’t they make another 100 or so for Australia?
    Afterall if it wasn’t for Holden [and their Design team] the Camaro would never have seen the light of day

  26. Everyone says:

    Allergic to nuts and missiles {}{} TM

    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE GO AWAY

    You’ve been asked nicely…..
