Camaro LIVES! The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro looks to be a bona fide hit for General Motors as the Detroit automaker is struggling to keep up with demand. After taking more than 10,000 pre-orders, GM is scrambling to fill the 25,000 dealer orders that have flooded the Camaro’s Oshawa, Ontario plant.
GM has seen it sales slide more than 40 percent this year, but the Chevy Camaro is flying off dealer lots. In fact, demand is so high that most dealers say they won’t see another Camaro for several months. Those that still have the new-age pony car in stock are routinely taking $500 over MSRP.
GM sold 5,463 Camaro last month.
Although the market is now full of rear-wheel drive coupe choices – including the Ford Mustang and Dodge Challenger – the Camaro seems to be hitting the sweet spot of the segment. Those that want relative fuel economy and sporty driving characteristics can opt for the 29 mpg Camaro V6 while those craving an all-out performance machine can order the V8-powered Camaro SS. The Camaro is also featured in this summer’s “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”, which can only help sales.

From another Camaro site:
I guess there will be a 50th anniversary Z28. And I'll be just in time for it since my 2006 GTO gets paid off in 2011. But, then again, I can buy my Mom's low-mileage 2007 Atomic Orange Z06 for a much cheaper price in 2013 (when her lease on it is up).
Scott, Cheryl, John, Al, design guy?(forget his name?) and John ***
These are the people you should thank for bringing the Camaro back to life!
They were in Carlisle PA showing off the Camaro (which was easy to do)
They answered all questions from the crowd....which brings me to the Z28.
I don't want this thread to be a boring talk again and again about the Z28 speculation.
There is no doubt that there will be a Z28
It will have the Z28 hood (like bumblebee 2)
It will have a different grill which will include the chevy bowtie somewhere (top executive decision making here)
It will probably have a different rear spoiler
It will have Z28 emblems and/or graphics
It will have a high output engine LS ? something (as long as it meets government standards for fuel economy)
They want you to enjoy the NEW Camaro, the way it is offered now, for the next couple years
Then, the convertible will be out in the spring of 2011
Then, the Z28 will probably come out a year later

Its great news for sure, though I hate to be a semi-pessimist but even the 4th gen Fbodies were selling 70-80k units per year even after they had been out for awhile and not considered a sales success. 6k units per month puts the 5th gen at about that target, and my fear is after 2 model years when the new stigma wears off we'll hear about it being a disappointment. I surely hope not, its a great car and I would consider one if I was allowed more than 1 toy!
