After GM's bankruptcy delays and the problems that causes with suppliers there is some information about the new Camaro Convertible. It looks like one of the most wanted convertibles in recent memory has been pushed into the 2012 model year. Released in April 2011 Yes, another year without the Camaro convertible. Just take a look at that car and tell me....you don't need one? I don't even care if you buy a V6 or a rumbling V8, the car looks fast, sitting still. There are inklings that new government MPG requirements will derail the success of the Camaro. (outselling the Mustang for months on end) If you think about it from a strictly business point of view do you want to invest millions in a car that only has a short lifespan? There are only two choices for GM, improve the fuel efficiency or discontinue the line. Neither option is cheap. This is a beautiful car and I really hope that it isn't delayed again.

The 2011 Camaro Convertible

In October of this year (2009) Chevrolet dealers got a sneak peek at the highly anticipated Camaro convertible. The delays brought about by GM's bankruptcy and union negotiations are over. Can you hold out until late 2010 or early 2011 for this gorgeous car?

2011 Camaro Convertible Some cynics say that the Camaro is past it's prime but does a great looking car ever go out of style? When I go to a car show and look at the muscle car legends of the past they still look great to me. The advantage to buying a new Camaro versus on the the old ones comes down to two things - maintenance and safety.

Trust me I love a good 67 Camaro convertible but how safe is it? Seatbelts were practically optional and airbags are you kidding me? I've had several old cars and the looks that you get from others are fantastic but there is always something that needs to be done. The valve covers are leaking oil, there is a squeak somewhere in the front end, the thermostat is stuck. It never ends.

With the ever increasing price of the old muscle cars there is virtually no difference between a new camaro convertible and an old one. (actually a super nice old one would be more)

Whenever you buy a convertible there are sacrifices to be made. The backseat is typically smaller but if you're putting the kids back there, no problem. The noise on the interstate can be problematic as well. Most convertible lovers don't really like a group of Harley riders rumbling past. Regardless of the problems, convertibles are so much fun to drive. You don't have to break your neck slamming the gas pedal through the floorboard to have a good time tooling around in a convertible, especially the iconic Camaro Convertible.
