FIFTH-GEN CAMARO APPROACHES 500,000 U.S. SALES
March 13, 2015 by ChevroletDETROIT – Talk about a big family: Chevrolet expects to deliver the 500,000th fifth-generation Camaro in the United States this month. The fifth-generation Camaro has been a runaway success for Chevrolet since it went on sale in August 2009. Camaro sales passed Mustang in 2010, to become America's best-selling performance car – a title Camaro has retained for five consecutive years. In the process, the Camaro has helped build the Chevrolet family – with 63 percent of retail buyers new to GM. 'The fifth-generation Camaro has clearly resonated with both long-time Camaro fans, and first time performance-car buyers,' said Todd Christensen, Camaro marketing manager. 'That sets the bar high for the next chapter of the car's history.' Remarkably, the Camaro continues to gain momentum, even as the fifth-generation Camaro nears the end of production this year. In 2014, Camaro total sales increased 7.1 percent for its second-best year of sales since its introduction. For the first two months of 2015, total sales are up 3.6 percent over 2014: August through December 2009 61,648 2010 calendar year 81,299 2011 calendar year 88,249 2012 calendar year 84,391 2013 calendar year 80,567 2014 calendar year 86,297 January through February 2015 11,364
