Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens goodfull and Hanschen2007 for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, March 25 (Xinhua) the Chevrolet Comero (Camaro), as the prototype car of the "Transformers" movie "bumblebee", is also a world-famous classic car, even people who do not care about the car have heard of it, and the model has launched its sixth generation.

Recently, however, Chevrolet Vice President Scott Bell said in a press release that Comero will officially stop production in January 2024.

▲ Touyuan General Motors Comero is a Chevrolet coupe with front and rear drive. The series first went on sale on September 29, 1966, and more than 5 million units have been sold so far.

V6 / V8 high-performance engine cars such as the Chevrolet Comero have become a shrinking market segment as carmakers transition to all-electric vehicles, CNBC reported.

Sales of mainstream high-performance cars by Detroit automakers peaked at more than 394000 vehicles in 2015, such as the Chevrolet Corvette and Comero, Ford Mustang and Dodge muscle cars, according to industry researcher Edmunds. Sales of these cars have been declining since then, with sales of two-door coupes such as Comero and Mustang falling nearly 50 per cent from peak to July 2022.

However, Scott Bell, vice president of Chevrolet, also said: "although we will not announce an immediate successor today, please rest assured that the story of Comero is not over."

According to CTOnews.com, the bumblebee vehicle model in the 2007 film Transformers was first described as a 1976 Comero and later as a fifth-generation concept car. The revised fifth-generation Comero continues to play the role of bumblebee in the sequels Transformers 2: battle of Vengeance and Transformers 3.

▲ Touyuan Transformers Chevrolet will release a "treasured version" of 2024 Comero models, including the high-end ZL1, to commemorate the suspension of production at the General Motors plant in Michigan in January 2024. GM said more information about the collection would be released at a later date. A GM spokesman declined to say whether it plans to use the name Comero on electric vehicles.
