Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!

Fritz Henderson confirms Camaro convertible for first quarter 2011, no Camaro sedan
Fritz Henderson confirms Camaro convertible for first quarter 2011, no Camaro sedan
GM conducts occassional Q&A sessions on its Fastlane blog. The most recent session was held this past Thursday with GM CEO Fritz Henderson. Two Camaro related questions were asked: 1) One participant inquired "Been patiently waiting for Camaro convertible. Best guesses are 2012 model in 1st quarter of 2011. With surging popularity [...]
GM already had a Camaro sedan -- it was known as the Pontiac G8.
Exactly...why the hell would they want to (continue to) compete against themselves in the same market?
That, and even the discussion of a four door Camaro is complete blasphemy...

I think it is because I take it in and out all the time, the rubber has just stretched out, especially at the bottom where it is really thin. It annoys me more then anything.
some idiot journalist asked the question about a camaro sedan.... there was never any credibility to that statement in the first place so why continue to discuss?
Here is how it works... Journalist:"Will they come out with a 4x4 camaro?" GM: "no... i dont think that was ever considered" Headlines the next day: "GM cancels plans for 4x4 Camaro!" Internet Forums explode: "What was GM thinking!! I hope they dont come out with one!!! that would be horrible!!!"
Seems to me that Ford was asked the same thing about the Mustang not that long ago. I wonder if either an attempt to leverage a successful brand franchise for our struggling domestic automakers, or the thinking that the easiest way to get performance RWD sedans is to expand the existing RWD coupe/convertible range.

Man... I can believe but I also can't believe that it's going to take until 1st quarter 2011 until they get a convertible competitor for the Mustang.
Part of it is that the engineering budget resources got reallocated to other, higher-volume projects like bringing the Chevy Cruze to the US market. The other part of it is that GM is already selling all the Camaros that it can build, so the product doesn't need any more excitement at the moment. Having a convertible in 2011 as a 2012 model will give it a boost when it's already a couple of years on the market -- and dare I say, it might make for a good 45th Anniversary commemorative edition Camaro?

Yeah, like I said I can believe/understand why with all the financial issues, but at the same time... come on... people who really want a convertible sports car will only have the Mustang to buy.
Yup, I agree with Brian. They need to get this in dealerships ASAP. I heard they are currently running around Oshawa... Which means all the tooling should be made. Why are they not in production?
The Camaro vert won't impact GM's bottom line either financially or average fuel economy-wise like other high-priority products, like the Cruze. The waiting is hard for us enthusiasts, but The General has bigger priorities right now, like stabilizing the ship, meeting new regulations and making money.
