Chevrolet introduced the sixth-generation Camaro on May 16, 2015, for the 2016 model year, on the GM Alpha platform shared with the Cadillac ATS. It weighed 200 pounds less than its predecessor, and over 70 percent of its architecture is unique to the car. Buyers chose a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic. The one we have is a 2017 Camaro coupe with the manual gearbox.
