Convertible Re-Affirmed for March 2011
The projected release date of the 2012 Camaro Convertible had originally been set at March of 2011, but recently that date changed. Following some issues concerning plant turn-over in preparation for the vehicle, GM had officially pushed their projected market release date back to the second Quarter of 2011. That move seems now to have just been a careful action, made by GM to keep their PR positive, as the due date has been reaffirmed now to be March of 2011. Whatever issues had been holding up the Camaro Convertible seem to be solved now. With the Camaro Convertible set for release, we can expect to see Camaro sales numbers continue to climb and outshine its Mustang and Challenger competitors. This is great news for GM, who has also--intelligently--highlighted that their Camaro has over-all outsold the Mustang since its release with no more than one basic model with two builds, while the Mustang has had a popular convertible model and multiple different power builds. With the Camaro line-up growing to accommodate all levels of consumers (especially with the eventual release of the near supercar Camaro Z28) we can expect to see the vehicle sales and popularity continue to grow.

It's pretty cool to look at and see just how popular or how unique your Camaro choices are. Mine is fairly unique and less than 1% of Camaros on the road today are the same as it, making me 1 in 4800 or so. What about you?
