The Chevrolet Camaro will take its last trip down the assembly line this week, but General Motors Co. isn\u2019t dropping the iconic nameplate forever \u2014 even though its sales haven’t always been high-powered.<\/p>\n

With Chevy\u2019s dive into electrification, it’s expected the next Camaro will have a battery-powered option, especially since Dodge is ending its gas-powered muscle monsters, the Challenger and Charger. GM and other automakers are trying to figure out what to do with their gas-powered muscle and sports cars in the transition to electric vehicles to meet tightening emissions regulations.<\/p>\n

Chevrolet has been mum on what’s next for the sports car, but when the brand\u00a0declared its demise in March<\/a>, Scott Bell, Chevy’s vice president, said: \u201cWhile we are not announcing an immediate successor today, rest assured, this is not the end of Camaro\u2019s story.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Detroit News requested interviews with brand leaders about the Camaro’s future but received emailed responses instead. Brad Franz, director of Chevrolet car and crossover marketing, said in a statement this week to The News, “As we\u2019ve said, we\u2019re not announcing an immediate successor at this time. But performance remains an important part of Chevrolet\u2019s DNA.”<\/p>\n
