The 35th anniversary also marked the end of the line for the Camaro. At least for now.
GM had already announced, in 2001, that production of the Camaro and Pontiac Firebird was about to end. Performance coupe sales were dwindling and the only reason the Camaro and Firebird were still produced was a labor agreement with the Canadian autoworkers who built them. Once that agreement expired, so did the Camaro.
