Not a single Camaro has been built since mid-March.
While dealerships report record profits due to high demand, automakers are continuing to struggle with semiconductor chip shortage, a critical component for vehicle systems like navigation and Bluetooth. The shortage is highly unlikely to end this year. This has resulted in production downtime at numerous manufacturing facilities across the country as automakers attempt to conserve chip supplies for more profitable models.
Less profitable models, like the Chevrolet Camaro, are typically the first to see their assembly lines grind to a halt. Not a single Camaro has been built since March 15. But today there s some good news.
Increases of over 300 percent are being reported.
We all know how much fun rental cars can be to drive, even if you re talking about something as average as a Mazda 3, but you can hire cool cars too, including stuff like a Chevy Camaro. Mix a rental car with a spring break vacation, and you ve got a recipe for fun, but some holidaymakers may find their joy cut in half.
The Points Guy is reporting that there s a shortage of rental cars available, and this shortage is a result of the pandemic. As a result, rental car rates are now soaring, with some Arizona, Hawaii, and Florida agencies charging as much as $300 per day for economy -sized cars.

The Chevy Camaro was outsold more than 2-1 by both Mustang and Challenger.
The Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro and Dodge Challenger have been locking horns for decades, with a few breaks. We expect they will continue to do so as every other low-roof vehicle falls by the wayside as Americans continue to choose SUVs and crossovers over lower, sportier options. Yet still these gladiators still battle.
Sales numbers were released for the first quarter of 2021 and the Ford Mustang took the sports car crown over its rivals, again. The Blue Oval moved 17,274 Mustangs in the first three months. Dodge sold 15,096 Challengers in all forms while Chevy moved only a disappointing 7,089 Camaro units, continuing its downward trend that has gone on for the last seven years.
Goodbye, four-cylinder.
The Chevrolet Camaro is one of the most beloved muscle cars in America, and despite a recent recall due to axle shafts possibly missing a retaining ring, and Chevrolet halting production at its Lansing Grand River Assembly plant in Michigan due to a shortage of semiconductor chips, this high-performance sports car continues to sell well. In an effort to stay relevant in a world that is moving towards hybrid and electric cars at a rapid pace, Chevrolet has now made a stunning announcement: as of 2022, some Camaro cars will be powered by high-performance turbocharged three-cylinder engines. Yes, that s correct. Only three cylinders.
