So, I guess the ones with scratches, bugs and gutter rash will be flipped for extreme prices: "2023 Indy 500 Camaro Special Edition. Authentic bent rims from potholes at Indianapolis service access roads. $100,000 firm"

Seats soaked with real farts from Indianapolis
 
Why not just make a Camaro that copies the Mustang? Same window space, trunk space, engine size.
The outgoing Camaro has a silly truck binnacle, small windows and larger displacement V8s. If Chevy are just going to do the same with small impractical windows, headroom intruding rear hatch and silly boot space for the SUV, why bother?

If they are going to raid the IP office, why don't they call it something more dignified, like Chevette?

I feel like making the Camaro solely an SUV would be a mistake. Meanwhile, while we did get the Mustang Mach-E, we then got a more proper 7th-gen Mustang alongside it, with tons of trims like the Dark Horse, GTD, and both the upcoming Dark Horse SC and Shelby version. That's before we get into the 7th-gen Mustang's motorsport entries, like the Dark Horse R, the full-on GT3 version, etc. That said, for that last variant, there's no way GM would replace the iconic Corvettes with Camaros as far as GT3 goes. That said, maybe the new Camaro could enter GT4/TCR?

EDIT: Weirdly enough, I feel like of the big three US OEMs, it's like Ford is like Toyota, Chevrolet is akin to Honda, and Dodge is not unlike Nissan - at least when it comes to how I feel like they're doing these days. Does this make sense to anyone else, or is it just me?

Nissan and Honda used to be great though.

A SUV-only Camaro wouldn't be possible - they need a sedan/coupe for NASCAR (and Supercars) purposes.

Assuming they intend to remain in those motorsports in the coming years, and aren't planning to put all their eggs in the F1 basket with Cadillac.

I feel NASCAR is a "too big to leave" situation for Chevrolet (Cadillac's brand image doesn't fit NASCAR, so that's why they haven't mulled switch to it).

That said, related to NASCAR:
