Canada Camaro sales down 24% YOY January
Only 66 Camaros sold in Canada. Could March incentives be going up?

Not sure about your holiday season as I'm from the US but after Christmas everyone gets their bills from to much spending and tends to tighten their belt so that could be the reason beside I would never take delivery in the winter months due to the snow and salt. You guys have some brutal winters!!!!

I bought mine on the 21st of March last year. Just missed the last day of winter lol.
Coldest winter in approximately 20 years for most parts of Canada give or take a few years. That would definitely impact it. Yet I've seen a few Camaro's on the road on some of the warmer days.

Sales are down across the board. Nobody wants to buy cars when they could die on the way to the dealer.

^agreed.
Its weather impacted, I'd bet anything. Not many people go out to dealerships wanting to test drive & buy muscle cars with over a foot of snow outside and close to 0*F temps.

This is why my hopes are that gm will come up with a all season tire option from the factory for gen 6 rs and ss packages

Been -50 celcius here in Saskatchewan last couple days. No dealerships in Saskatoon have any Camaros on the lot, all in storage.

Bet it was cold in Canada last January too.
Chevy just rolled our huge new incentives stateside called "Open House". Do a build on the website. You'll see another couple thousand deducted.

I wonder if any is fallout from them announcing Canada is losing Camaro production to Lansing, MI.
