GM's Welburn hints at production for the Camaro
Speaking at the Automotive News World Congress, Ed Welburn, Camaro fanatic and GM Vice President Global Design, all
but confirmed that the Camaro concept will see production.While he wouldn't say that GM had decided to produce the popular concept, he did hint that production could happen more quickly than the usual three year product cycle.
Automotive News cites GM sources as saying that the production car will be little changed from the concept, except for a lower cost version of the interior to go with an entry-level V6 model.
The first major step toward possible production will come later this year, with the rollout of the Zeta rear-drive platform by GM's Holden subsidiary.
